Association between first-trimester placental volume and birth weight

Abstract Objective To estimate the correlation between first-trimester placental volume, birth weight, small-for-gestational-age (SGA), and preeclampsia. Methods A prospective study of women with singleton pregnancy at 11–13 weeks of gestation was conducted. First-trimester placental volume was meas...

Description
Summary:Abstract Objective To estimate the correlation between first-trimester placental volume, birth weight, small-for-gestational-age (SGA), and preeclampsia. Methods A prospective study of women with singleton pregnancy at 11–13 weeks of gestation was conducted. First-trimester placental volume was measured using three-dimensional ultrasound and reported as multiple of median (MoM) for gestational age. Participants were followed until delivery where birth weight, placental weight, and occurrence of preeclampsia were collected. Non-parametric analyses were performed. Results We reached a complete follow-up for 543 eligible women. First-trimester placental volume was significantly correlated with birth weight (correlation coefficient: 0.18; p
