Combined analysis with amniotic fluid index and estimated fetal weight for prediction of severe macrosomia at birth.

Objective: To evaluate combined analysis with amniotic fluid index (AFI) and estimated fetal weight (EFW) for prediction of severe macrosomia at birth.

Study Design: In this retrospective case-control study, 50 term severe macrosomic newborns (birthweight [BW] > or = 97th percentile) were included in the study group and 100 appropriate for gestational age newborns served as controls. All pregnancies underwent a third-trimester sonographic evaluation in which AFI and EFW were measured.
