Fetal Abdominal Subcutaneous Tissue Thickness in Prediction of Fetal Weight in Term Pregnant Women

Sponsor: Assiut University

Summary

Fetal Abdominal subcutaneous tissue thickness (FASTT) can be easily measured during the routine ultrasound examination of pregnant women. Numerous reports have shown FASTT measurement to be a good way of evaluating subcutaneous fat tissue. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies have investigated the association of FASTT with abnormal fetal growth in nondiabetic. For this reason, in this study we evaluated whether FASTT can predict birth weight or diagnose LGA and/or LBW infants in the third trimester.
