A Comparison between Ultrasonographic Fetal Bi-Parietal Diameter (BPD) Measurements and Regular LastMenstrual Period (LMP) in Predicting the Day of Delivery in the Spontaneous Onset of Labor in a Syrian population


Abstract in English

Most of Syrian pregnant women do not remember their LMP exactly, so that if there is another correct way (like BPD measurement by ultrasound), It may improve the obstetric management in clinical practice. To compare between regular last menstrual period (LMP) and ultrasonographic Bi-Parietal Diameter (BPD) measurements in predicting delivery dates(EDD) in a Syrian population.
