Customised growth chartsFrom: Jason Gardosi (jason.gardosi@nottingham.ac.uk)Mon Oct 9 14:29:17 1995
David Nagey, 5 Oct 95: >We do have 20,000+ deliveries in our database if anyone on another continent >is interested... David - I would love to have a crack at your 20k, and anybody else's who may have data on birth weights in different ethnic groups. We have just released the 'Customised Growth Chart', a computer program which produces fetal weight curves individually adjusted for a number of non-pathological pregnancy characteristics. So far, we only have data for our own main groups (Anglo-European, Indian/Pakistani and Afro-Caribbean). For any comparison, we need accurately dated pregnancies (preferably by scan), maternal height, pre- or early pregnancy weight, parity, birth weight, gestational age and sex, and whether there was smoking and other pathological influences. To be representative, the population must be non-selected. We would work out the coefficients, incorporate them into the software and presto, you will get a growth chart program 'customised' to your own population. Surely the best deal going in cyberspace! jason.gardosi@nottingham.ac.uk Ob/Gyn, Queen's Medical Centre University of Nottingham, UK

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
