Intrapartum fetal head circumference and estimated fetal weight as predictors of operative delivery

Objective To assess intrapartum sonographic measurements of fetal head circumference (HC) and estimated fetal weight (EFW) to predict operative delivery. Methods In a prospective study, 200 spontaneously parturient primiparous women aged 20–30 years were enrolled at a teaching hospital in Cairo, Egy...

Description
Summary:Objective To assess intrapartum sonographic measurements of fetal head circumference (HC) and estimated fetal weight (EFW) to predict operative delivery. Methods In a prospective study, 200 spontaneously parturient primiparous women aged 20–30 years were enrolled at a teaching hospital in Cairo, Egypt, between October 2, 2015, and January 28, 2016. HC and EFW were measured by transabdominal ultrasonography. After delivery, the association between type of delivery and ultrasonography findings was assessed. Results Intrapartum HC and EFW were significantly higher among women with operative delivery (n=76) than among those with normal vaginal delivery (n=124; P
