Abstract:Results At birth, placental weight was correlated significantly with maternal weight (r=0.21, p=0.031), infant BW (r=0.71, r < 0.001), BMISDS(r=0.589, p<0.001), LSDS (0.567, p<0.001), and HC (r=0.699, p<0.001). During childhood, placental weight was correlated with BMI SDS (r=0.296, p=0.002), HtSDS = (r=0.254, p=0.009). Length SDS at birth was correlated significantly with HtSDS during childhood (r=0.445, p<0.001). Conclusion Placental weight is a good pointer of birth size (weight, length and HC) and may help… Show more
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.
