Abstract:
With the increased availability of access to prenatal ultrasound in low/middle-income countries, there is opportunity to better
characterize the association between fetal growth and birth weight across global settings. This is important, as fetal growth curves
and birthweight charts are often used as proxy health indicators. As part of a randomized control trial, in which ultrasonography
was utilized to establish accurate gestational age of pregnancies, we explored the association between gestational age and
birthweight among a cohort in Western Kenya, then compared our results to data reported by the INTERGROWTH-21st study.
