Abstract

Background: Researchers are paying a lot of attention to measurement of mid-thigh soft-tissue thickness (MTSTT), one of the soft tissue parameters. This study's objective was to evaluate MTSTT measurement accuracy and femur length, in calculating the anticipated foetal birth weight. Methods: This is cross-sectional research that enrolled 130 singleton pregnant women revealed for planned delivery at term (among 37 and 40 weeks) either by induction of labor and vaginal delivery or elective cesarean section within 48 hours. Each patient underwent a thorough clinical assessment, thorough history collection, and an ultrasound investigation. Results: When assessing the Hadlock formula in estimating fetal weight compared to actual fetal weight, the sensitivity was 82.8%, specificity was 88.1% with area under the curve 87.1% as fetal weight was equal or lower than 3500 gm. A significant positive moderate correlation among weight by Hadlock formula and actual fetal weight. While a critical positive strong correlation was present between actual fetal weight and weight by Scioscia's formula (P-value <0.001). When assessing the Hadlock formula in estimating fetal weight compared to actual fetal weight, the sensitivity was 82.8%, specificity was 88.1% with area under the curve 87.1% as fetal weight was equal or lower than 3500 gm. When assessing the Scioscia's formula in estimating fetal weight compared to actual fetal weight, the sensitivity was 72.4%, specificity was 86.1% with area under the curve 84.1% as fetal weight was equal or lower than 3500 gm. Conclusions: We concluded that MTSTT, a linear measurement, can be added to normal biometric parameters to enhance foetal weight prediction by ultrasound at term prior to delivery because it is simple, straight forward, and easy to obtain.
