Abstract

|
|
The purposes of this study were to predict newborn birthweight by use of gestational period and fundal height and to identify growth curve of fundal height according to gestational period and growth curve of newborn birthweight according to fundal height.
The subjects for the study were 802 women who delivered the normal newborn babies at Seoul National University Hospital from Sep. 1, 1981 to Aug. 31, 1986.
The data were collected by chart review and analyzed with SPSS program.
The results of study were as follows :
1. The multiple regression equation(R2=0.416) used for the prediction of newborn birthweight was y=(newborn birthweight, kg)=-4.421+0.075x1(fundal height, cm)+0.053x2(gestational period, weeks)+0.016x3(abdominal girth, cm)+0.010x4(maternal height, cm)
2. The growth curve of fundal height according to gestational period was obtained by polynomial regression.
The regression equation was Y(fundal height, cm)= -36.78+18.58logex(gestational period, weeks) The growth curve of newborn birthweight according to fundal height was obtained by polynomial regression. The regression equation was Y(newborn birthweight, kg)= -8.09+3.27logex(Fundal Height, cm)
3. In the following subgroups no significant difference was found in fundal height : engaged vs. nonengaged presentation, and nulliparous vs. multiparous women.
