Abstract:
Objective To investigate the accuracy of fetal weight estimation by modiefied uterine fundal height.Methods Totally 547 pregnant women admitted to maternity ward of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from December 1,2013 to April 30,2014 with childbirth were chosen as the subject.The modified uterine fundal height were measured by the uterus inclination and modiefied fundal height admeasuring apparatus,normal uterine fundal height and and abdomen circumfer-ence were measured by tape.The fetal weight was estimated by utilizing modified uterine fundal height.Results The modified fun-dal height was(31.7±2.30)cm,which was significantly higher than that normal fundal height(34.7 ± 2.46 )cm(t = 54.25,P <0.01).The accuracy rate of modified uterine fundal height for fetal weight estimation with empirical formulas,Yuan′s,Zhuo′s,Lin′s,Zen′s,Gu′s were 68.4%,69.7%,59.4%,67.8%,69.3%,78.4%,respectively.The accuracy rate of normal uterine fundal height for fetal weight estimation with the same formulas were 53.4%,34.4%,54.3%,46.1%,38.8%,45.9%,respectively.The accuracy rate of modiefied uterine fundal height for fetal weight estimation with empirical formulas,Yuan′s,Lin′s,Zen′s,Gu′s were significantly higher than that of utilizing normal uterine fundal height estimation with the same formulas(P <0.01).Conclusion Modified uterine fundal height has better accuracy in estimating fetal weight,it has a important clinical significance.
