Association of fetal ultrasound anthropometric parameters with neurodevelopmental outcomes at 24 months of age.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is a paucity of studies which have examined associations between ultrasound based fetal anthropometric parameters and neurodevelopment in all infants. We examined the association between ultrasound based fetal anthropometric parameters and neurodevelopment in all infants through a secondary analysis of data collected in a large community based randomized controlled trial.

Methods

A total of 1465 mother-child dyads were included. Ultrasound based fetal anthropometric parameters which included the head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), femur length (FL), biparietal diameter (BPD) and transcerebellar diameter (TCD) were collected at 26-28 weeks of gestation and their association with neurodevelopment at 24 months of age was examined.
