Accuracy of sonographic fetal weight estimation within 14 days of delivery in a Jordanian population using Hadlock formula 1.

Objectives: To assess the accuracy of sonographic fetal weight estimation within 14 days of delivery in a Jordanian population using Hadlock formula 1 in the third trimester.

Materials And Methods: Estimated fetal weights and actual fetal weights data were collected from the medical records of pregnant women who had undergone sonographic fetal weight estimation within 14 days of delivery over the period of March 2008 to June 2010. The analysis included 409 Jordanian women; 6 of them had twins, so the study involved estimation of 415 fetal weights, and these were compared to the actual recorded neonatal weights.
