Abstract

Background: Determination of GESTATIONAL AGE by physical examination is possible because there is a predictable pattern of physical changes that occurs throughout gestation. This estimation is more important for infants whose GESTATIONAL AGE is unknown or discrepant with their growth. This study compares the clinical methods as well as preclinical methods of GESTATIONAL AGE determination. Patients and Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional study was done on 1000 neonates, born in hospitals affiliated to the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences during the first 48 hours of life. GESTATIONAL AGE using clinical methods (Ballard and Dubowitz), was determined and compared with the age of pregnancy evaluated by ultrasound findings and the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP). Finally these data were compared using statistical methods. Results: Determination of GESTATIONAL AGE with clinical methods (Dubowitz and Ballard) and LMP showed a good correlation (p<0.05). Also, LMP, Dubowitz and Ballard methods had a statistically significant correlation with perinatal sonographic findings (p=0.05) Conclusion: Clinical assessment of GESTATIONAL AGE using Ballard and Dubowitz methods, have the same predictive value as LMP and determination of GESTATIONAL AGE by SONOGRAPHY.
