Comparison of fetal growth patterns from Western India with Intergrowth-21st.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To generate longitudinal fetal growth data in an Indian population and compare it with Intergrowth-21st.

Material and methods

Fetal biometry data was collected in a prospective longitudinal observational study (REVAMP: Research Exploring Various Aspects and Mechanisms in Preeclampsia) from 2017 to 2022. Fetal crown-rump length (CRL) was measured at 11-14 weeks gestation, and biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), and femur length (FL) at 18-22 and 32-35 weeks, and converted into Z-scores using the Intergrowth standard. Generalized Additive Models for Location, Scale and Shape (GAMLSS) models were used to construct fetal growth centile curves compared against Intergrowth centiles.

Results

Out of 1096 singleton pregna
