Objectives: After studying the article entitled “Sonographic Estimated Fetal Weight Within an Indian Cohort: Is the Hadlock Four Regression Model Appropriate or Does It Merit Adjustments?” you will be able to:
Describe how fetal birth weight can be both an important predictor and criterion
Identify the measurements the Hadlock regression model (Hadlock-4) utilizes to assess estimated fetal weight (EFW)
Discuss the proposed changes to the Hadlock-4 for EFW assessment in an Indian population
Fetal birth weight can be an important predictor of? Gender in utero Eye color in utero Mortality in infancy Cognitive level in infancy
What can the criterion of fetal birth weight be used to determine? Fetal lung maturity Infant sleep patterns Infant eating schedule Fetal digit sucking reflex
How many fetal measurements does the Hadlock-4 utilize? 12 8 4 2
The Hadlock-4 was based on which population of data? Indian American Nigerian Australian
Which of the following is a measurement that the Hadlock-4 utilizes? Abdominal circumference Amniotic fluid volume Venous flow velocity Patella thickness
In the present study, where was the highest discrepancy between the EFW and actual birth weight (ABW) found? First trimester early First trimester late At 22 weeks Near term
In the present study, what percentage reduction of EFWs obtained by the Hadlock-4 is proposed in an Indian population? >40% 36% and 40% 12% and 15% 3% and 8%
