  • Title: A prospective trial of the femur length to abdominal circumference ratio to predict the outcome of preterm labor.
    Author: Beall MH, Platt LD.
    Journal: Am J Perinatol; 1989 Jul; 6(3):284-6. PubMed ID: 2730731.
    Abstract:
    Femur length to abdominal circumference ratio was used to predict the adequacy of fetal growth for patients undergoing treatment for preterm labor. When quantitated in this way, no correlation could be found between fetal growth and effectiveness of tocolytic therapy. Despite its correlation in retrospective studies, poor fetal growth was not correlated with preterm delivery to any measurable extent in this prospective trial.
