“…2 These factors vary from race to race and also between each fetomaternal unit, resulting in physiological variation in duration of pregnancy. 3,4 Klimek measured the functional maturity status of the newborn babies with clinical scoring system (Klimek's maturation index) and reported that some babies attain completion of functional maturity early and in some the maturation process completes late. 5,6 Further The correlation of birth weight with AFOD was studied as shown in Table 4.…”

Aim and objective: To measure the AFOD levels in cases with spontaneous onset of labor and elective termination of pregnancies before term and after term and its correlation with the neonatal outcome. Materials and methods:This study was conducted in the labor room of Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in SN Medical College, Agra. One hundred antenatal patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected for the study and divided into two groups. Results: In our study no correlation between AFOD and gestational age and birth weight was observed and with AFOD <0.9 increased the chances of respiratory distress, NICU admissions, and low APGAR score, and increased perinatal morbidity and mortality was observed. Conclusion: AFOD estimation is cheap, easily available; results can be obtained within few minutes; and helps to make quick decisions when compared to L/S ratio estimation.

Symphysis fundal height (SFH) is currently used in the UK as a screening test to identify which pregnancies may require additional investigations including the use of ultrasound fetal biometry. The routine use of SFH has been subjected to extensive research assessing its sensitivity and also inter and intraobserver variation. This study's aim was to assess the current UK practice of SFH measurement and particularly looked at methods used in its measurement. A total of 250 healthcare professionals (doctors and midwives) were asked to complete a structured anonymous questionnaire of which 211 health professionals agreed to participate. The results revealed that SFH is used less frequently by the professionals with less than 10 years clinical experience compared to professionals with more than 10 years clinical experience. In addition there was significant variance in the methods used to measure SFH that would increase the interobserver error.

Ethnicity and fetal growth in Fiji

Abstract: Given the ethnic differences in fetal growth and maturation, it would be appropriate to use ethnicity-specific standards for perinatal care in Fiji.
