Prediction of Fetal Growth Deviations by Use of Symphysis-Fundus Height Measurements
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 March 2009
Abstract
The development of various symphysis fundus (SF) growth charts and the use of SF height measurements in the diagnosis of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) births and the prediction of newborn complications are reviewed. Measurement precision and accuracy are also discussed. It is concluded that further research of this simple, low cost, harmless, and widespread technology to detect fetal growth disturbances in routine prenatal care is warranted.
