title: Symphysis-fundus measurements in Asian and Caucasian women in Bradford.
abstract: A study was undertaken to assess the need for a separate chart of symphysis-fundus measurements for the large Asian population of Bradford. 129 measurements from 47 pregnant Asian patients were compared with 193 measurements from 87 pregnant Caucasian patients. There was insufficient evidence to support the production of a separate chart for the Asian population.
