External Physical Characteristics in Assessing Gestational age in Sudanese Newborns

Mohamed Ibrahim A. Omer, El Tahir Medani El Shibly, David Y. Downham.


Abstract
External physical characteristics were studied in assessing gestational age in Sudanese newborns. Various combinations gave reasonably high predictive values (correlation coefficients). Regression formula containing breast size, ear firmness and skin texture exhibited a curvilinear relationship with gestational age.

Key words: Infant newborn, Sudan, Gestational age, Physical examination
