[Value of echotomographic measurement of the diameter of the head and abdomen and the length of the femur in the determination of body mass in neonates].
A formula for the antenatal assessment of the body mass of a newborn infant is suggested. It consists of the 3 foetal parameters measured by ultrasound: the biparietal diameter, the transversal abdominal diameter and the femur length. The advantage of this formula was established by a good correlation between these parameters and body-mass after birth in comparison to formulae made of a single parameter or of a combination of two parameters. The described procedure was compared with other trials. The formula was especially convenient for the measurement of longitudinal components, as foetal femur length. In this way the approximate three-dimensional feature is obtained.
