Neonatal anthropometry and neonatal outcome

Epilepsy and eating disorders during pregnancy: Prevalence, complications and birth outcome

“…We investigated the relationship between epilepsy and any type of ED (except for impaired body image) and hypertension during pregnancy, diabetes during pregnancy, preeclampsia, peripartum depression and/or anxiety [15], excessive pregnancy weight gain (>16 kg), operative deliveries (caesarian section, use of vacuum or forceps), small for gestational age (<10th percentile), large for gestational age (>10th percentile), small head circumference (<10th percentile) [16], low Apgar score (<7 after 5 min) and ponderal index (weight/length 3 , <10th percentile and >90th percentile). Neonatologists have preferentially used the ponderal index rather than small for gestational age as an indicator of nutritional status in the child, and the variable is a predictor of neonatal disease [17].…”

Using Anthropometric measurements for Gestational Age Assessment in Sudanese Preterm Infants

“…However, it relies on external and neurological features, which are frequently found to be impacted by birth trauma, asphyxia, and intrauterine factors. (15)(16)(17) In this paper, we evaluate the use of anthropometric measurements, particularly neonatal head circumference (HC) and crown-heel length (CHL) to determine the gestational age of the neonate, and its e cacy in comparison to the NBS.…”
