Neither a volumetric formula nor a conventional formula proved to be superior over the whole weight range. Within specific weight groups, some formulas showed improved accuracy. However, new approaches such as three-dimensional ultrasonography need to be pursued further in order to achieve better results in fetal weight estimation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
