An accurate estimated fetal weight (EFW) calculated with traditional formulae in cases of abdominal wall defects (AWDs) can be challenging. As a result of reduced abdominal circumference, fetal weight may be underestimated, which could affect prenatal management. Siemer et al. proposed a formula without the use of abdominal circumference, but it is not used in our protocols yet.

Abstract
An accurate estimated fetal weight (EFW) calculated with traditional formulae in cases of abdominal wall defects (AWDs) can be challenging. As a result of reduced abdominal circumference, fetal weight may be underestimated, which could affect prenatal management. Siemer et al. proposed a formula without the use of abdominal circumference, but it is not used in our protocols yet.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
