Subsequently a considerable and persistent drop in perinatal mortality was seen. SF\u2010tape measurements reflect the fetal growth and correlate well with fetal crown\u2010rump length. Over a 2\u2010year period SF\u2010growth data were collected for all infants admitted to the neonatal unit in the area. In all, 812 singletons were studied. Maternal smoking habits in the first trimester were recorded. A group of 283 normal neonates served as controls. A highly significant statistical difference was found on comparing the mean birth weights of infants associated with high, \u201cnormal\u201d, and low and\/or static SF\u2010curves from 34 weeks of gestation and onwards. The sensitivity in detecting LGA infants by high SF\u2010curves was 74%, with a specificity of 84%. The proportion of mothers with uncertain expected dates of confinement (EDC) was high among those having \u201cnormal\u201d SF\u2010curves, yet giving birth to SGA infants. After correction for gestational age, the SF\u2010curves adjusted for dates were in most cases low and\/or static during the weeks prior to delivery. The sensitivity and specificity would thereby have increased to 95% and 93%, respectively, in detecting SGA infants had their dates been certain.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Maternal smoking showed an overall incidence of 37% in the first trimester. No increase in incidence was seen among mothers to preterm infants. There was as could be expected a highly increased ratio of smoking mothers to infants with birth weight less than 1 S.D., regardless of gestational age.<\/jats:p><jats:p>SF\u2010tape measurement is recommended as a graphic method of supervising pregnancy for the detection of accelerated and retarded fetal growth. Early and correct determination of gestational age, however, is a prerequisite.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/00016348109158139","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,12,8]],"date-time":"2009-12-08T18:02:33Z","timestamp":1260295353000},"page":"317-323","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["SYMPHYSIS\u2010FUNDUS MEASUREMENT IN PREDICTION OF FETAL GROWTH DISTURBANCES"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Wallin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"\u00c5","family":"Gyllensw\u00e4rd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Westin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,1,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0002-9378(78)90824-4"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1976.tb04935.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.2.5806.127"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.53.1.2","article-title":"The later growth of the brain and its vulnerability","volume":"53","author":"Dobbing J.","year":"1974","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0022-3476(70)80038-5"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","first-page":"B 1221","volume-title":"F\u00f6delsevikt och l\u00e4ngd vid olika graviditetstid","author":"Engstr\u00f6m L.","year":"1971"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1979.tb06158.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016347809162696"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1976.tb04906.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00016347109157292"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_12_1","first-page":"122","article-title":"Pregnancy characteristics of intrauterine growth retardation","volume":"44","author":"Low J.
