RESUMO

This study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound and clinical fetal weight estimation; evaluate maternal and/or fetal factors that could interfere in ultrasound estimation of fetal weight and, compare the accuracy of ultrasound versus clinical fetal weight estimations. 212 estimation of fetal was performed within 24 hours to delivery. The maternal factors examined were: weight, BMI, skin to uterus distance, and as fetal factors: presentation, position, fetal weight, placental localization and thickness and AFI. Ultrasound presented good accuracy in the estimation of fetal weight. Thick distances between skin to uterus and small fetuses are associated to higher errors in estimating fetal weight. Clinical estimation of fetal weight was satisfactory in the prediction of birth weight, however with lower accuracy than ultrasound
