Role of first-trimester umbilical vein flow in predicting fetal macrosomia: a matched case-control study.

CONCLUSIONS: UVBF measured at the time of 11-14 weeks scan is independently associated and predictive of fetal macrosomia and BW >4000g. Adding measurement of UVBF to a multiparametric model that included maternal (parity, BMI) and biochemical (PAPP-A) parameters improves the diagnostic accuracy of a prenatal screening for fetal macrosomia.
