Birth weight for gestational age: A reference study in a tertiary referral hospital in the middle region of Turkey

Abstract: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating the correlation between gestational age and fetal birth weight with such a large sample size in Turkey. Therefore, the results of this reference study can be helpful in defining normal and abnormal fetal growth in Turkish newborns.

“…Çalışmamızda edindiğimiz sonuçlardan bir diğeri, gebelik haftası arttıkça doğum kilolarının da artış eğilimi göstermesidir. Son zamanlarda kurumumuzda yapılan diğer bir çalışma da bunu doğrulamıştır [11]. Miad aşımı makrozomi açısından bazal bir risk oluştuduğundan, gruplar arasında hastaların kişisel ve laboratuvar özelliklerinin karşılaştırmasının daha iyi sonuç vermesi açısından, miadını aşmış olgular çalışmamızın örneklemine baştan dahil edilmemiştir.…”

“…Topçu ve ark. 'nın 69742 doğuma dair bilgileri derleyen çalışmasında, 28 gebelik haftasından önce doğan kızların ve bu gebelik haftasından sonra doğan erkeklerin, karşı cinse göre doğum kilolarının daha fazla olduğu tespit edilmiştir [11]. Miadında doğan makrozomik bebeklerden erkek cinsiyetlilerin oranının fazlalığı, ülkemizde ve diğer ülkelerde yapılan farklı çalışmalarda ortaya konulmuştur [13,17,18].…”

“…By contrast, Topçu et al's 1 study provided significantly less information, including (1) the 50 th percentile of body weight at 38 weeks, 39 weeks, and 40 weeks was 3220 g, 3320 g, and 3400 g, respectively; and (2) males comprised 54.1% of the births, even though investigators claimed that their study was the first to evaluate such a number of participants in Turkey and the results might be a good reference to define normal and abnormal fetal growth in newborns in Turkey. 1 In addition, as shown by Topçu et al, 1 this study was based on cross-sectional data; therefore, it does not reflect the longitudinal growth trajectory of individual infants. It is possible that longitudinal assessments of fetal size, although more expensive and challenging to obtain, might yield estimates that diverge from those presented in Topçu et al's 1 article in this issue.…”
