Abstract

Numerous publications over recent years have proposed methods for estimation of gestational age (GA) from fetal measurements including biparietal diameter, head circumference, crown-rump length and others. The manuscript of Altman and Chitty1 presented statistical modelling of data from 663 fetuses to define charts and tables for pregnancy dating based upon such measures. The resulting outputs are tables of mean GA estimates based upon each measurement, each with a corresponding standard deviation that encompasses the uncertainty in the prediction. We here address an erroneous result in the appendix of this work, associated with the uncertainty in GA prediction based upon derived head circumference measurements.
