Placental thickness an estimator of fetal growth variables
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF RECENT TRENDS IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
Objectives: 1.To find out the relationships between fetus growth variables with placental thickness.2.To estimate the growth variables through the regression analysis models. Methodology: 240 III trimester ante-natal mothers were selected as first 20 singleton pregnant mothers through the months of January to December 2016. The Ultra Sona Graphed statistics like Abdominal Circumference (AC), Biparietal diameter (BPD), Femer length (FL), LMP based gestational age (GA) and Placental Thickness (PT) were collected. The study subjects 240 singleton Ante Natal mothers fetal growth of above variables were analyzed and interpreted accordingly. Results: The placental thickness determined the BPD as 60.1%, AC as 64.8%, FL as 67.7% and 66.7%. Based on this, four regression equations were being computed for estimating the BPD, AC, FL and GA. Discussions: The main function of the placenta is exchanging nutrients, metabolic products and gases to the fetus. The placental thickness can be an indicator of IUGR. Conclusions: Early detections of fetal growth may prevent the perinatal, neonatal and maternal mortalities.
