Objectives: After studying the article entitled “The Sonographic Evaluation of Gestational Age: A Comparative Study Utilizing Different Biometric Measurement Indices and Fetal Kidney Length,” you will be able to:
Describe biometric measurement indices for gestational age (GA) calculation
Identify potential importance of fetal kidney length (FKL) correlation for GA determination
Recognize specific methods used in this comparative study
A properly calculated __________ is necessary to interpret specific diagnostic tests such as a serum assay, amniotic fluid assay, and chorionic villus sampling. Expected date of delivery (EDD) Last menstrual period (LMP) GA FKL
At 13 weeks of GA, fetal kidneys were observed in _____ of patients. 68% 74% 80% 93%
In this study, each variable was measured _______consecutive times and averaged for the final measurement. One Two Three Four
The biometric measurement considered as the gold standard for calculating GA is the? Biparietal diameter (BPD) Abdominal circumference (AC) Head circumference (HC) Crown rump length (CRL)
Results of this study were that the strongest statistical correlation of fetal right kidney length was to the? BPD AC HC Femur length (FL)
