Curve of Normal Fetal Weight Values Estimated by Ultrasound According to Gestational Age in Sudan

Abstract

The objective of this study To detect the normal intrauterine fetal growth in pregnant Sudanese women and compared with international intrauterine fetal growth using serial ultrasound investigation . This was statistical study for pregnant women came to ultrasound department for routine check up ,the study was covered 150 cases between the age (14-45)years . This results shows the correlation between the mother Height in cm and Fetus weight in Kg . It reveals that: the mother Height has no correlation with Fetus weight which are insignificance (R2 = 0.03). in( Figure 1), shows the correlation between the mother weight in Kg and Fetus weight in Kg . It reveals that: the mother weight has no correlation with Fetus weight which are insignificance (R2 = 0.03). in (Figure 2), shows the correlation between the BMI (Kg/m2) versus fetal weight standard and measured. It reveals that: the fetal weight has been increases as the BMI increases in forms of linear correlation which are insignificance (R2 = 0.05 and 0.02) for the influence of BMI in measured fetal weight and standard one respectively in( Figure 3), shows the correlation between the GA in weeks and versus measured parameters (FL, AC and BPD) in cm. It reveals that: the GA has has been increases as measured parameters (BPD ,FL, and AC) increases in forms of linear correlation which are significance (R2 =0.692, 0.33, 0.768) for the influence of GA in measured parameters (BPD ,FL, and AC) respectively in (Figure 4) and shows the correlation between the GA in weeks versus fetal weight standard and measured. It reveals that: the fetal weight has been increases as the GA increases in forms of linear correlation which are significance (R2 = 0.996 and 0.738) for the influence of GA in standard fetal weight and measured one respectively in( Figure 5).
