Utility of Fetal Humeral Length Measurements in Gestational Age Estimation in the Second and Third Trimesters in Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Care Clinics in a Nigerian Tertiary Hospital: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study

2026-05-18

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Background This study aims to evaluate the reliability of sonographic humeral length (HL) as a predictor of gestational age (GA), comparing its effectiveness to standard measurements like femur length (FL) and biparietal diameter (BPD). While the latter are routinely used, individual growth variations can cause discrepancies in measurements. The research explores if HL can help address...
