Request Summary: Fetal Growth Chart
Request Category: Private Individuals
Question Number 1: My FOI request is for all the Hospitals in your trust with a Maternity Department/Service: What growth chart do you use in your maternity department for fetal biometry including estimated fetal weight? If this has changed since 2017, please include previous growth charts since 01/01/2017 in the answer. If there are plans to change this in the future, please include any planned growth charts. | |
Answer To Question 1: The Trust have used the Perinatal Institute GROW chart since 2020. | |
Question Number 2: Please provide specific journal references, rather than the generic name of the chart i.e.- 'Hadlock et al. In utero analysis of fetal growth: a sonographic weight standard. Radiology 1991;181(1):129-33'. If any adaptions to the chart are used, please also provide the journal references to these i.e. 'Gardosi et al. Customised antenatal growth charts. Lancet 1992;339(8788):283-7' | |
Answer To Question 2: The Trust use the Perinatal Institute GROW Chart. The Chart is not adjusted in anyway specifically for SA¹ú¼Ê´«Ã½. | |
