- Title
The application of individualised fetal growth curves.
- Authors
Gardosi, Jason
- Abstract
Individually adjusted or 'customised' growth charts aim to optimise the assessment of fetal growth by taking individual variation into account, and by projecting an optimal curve which delineates the potential weight gain in each pregnancy. This results in an increased detection rate of true growth restriction and a reduction in false positive diagnoses for IUGR. An adjustable standard can apply across geographical boundaries, as individual variation exceeds that between different maternity populations.
