Study the Correlation Between Placental Thickness and Estimated Fetal Weight by 2d Ultrasonography on Normal Foetus More Than 16 Weeks of Ages

Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the development of foetus (BPD, AC, AAD, FL) and placenta (placental thickness - PT) and the correlation between placental thickness and fetal estimated weight. Materials and Method: Ultrasonographic study 1224 singleton pregnancies with normal developing foetus by cross-sessional describtive method from 01/05/2009 to 20/08/2010. Results: The first pregnancies consist of 59.07%, the second – 29.66 %, the third -11.28%. The fetal and placental ultrasonographic parameters continuously increase from 16 weeks to 38 weeks of age and get satistic meaning with p<0.01. There is closed agreeable correlation between BPD, AAD, AC, FL, PT and fetal ages (w) with r = 0.9829, 0.9895, 0.9882, 0.9827, 0.9689 p<0.0001 correlatively. Conclusion: Ultrasonographic fetal parameters strongly correlate with fetal ages. Placental thickness agreable correlation with fetal ages and FEW.
