Is there a relationship between high birth weight and umbilical vein diameter?

The aim of the study was to evaluate the associations between sonographical measurements of the umbilical cord and birth weight in 20-24 weeks of gestations. This cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 220 low-risk pregnant women between 20-24 gestational weeks. Biparietal dia...

Description
Summary:The aim of the study was to evaluate the associations between sonographical measurements of the umbilical cord and birth weight in 20-24 weeks of gestations. This cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 220 low-risk pregnant women between 20-24 gestational weeks. Biparietal diameter, head and abdominal circumference, and femur length were measured for anthropometric calculations. Umbilical cord including umbilical vein diameters, placental thickness, umbilical artery. Doppler measurements (RI, PI) were recorded. In accordance with the results of statistical computations, an inverse relationship was found between umbilical vein diameter and birth weight of a large gestational age (LGA) newborn in 20-24 gestational weeks (p
