Correlation Between Gestational Age by Last Menstrual Period (LMP) and
Fetal Biometry Using Ultrasonography In 1st Trimester On Ethnic
Minangkabau
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Since ultrasonography (USG) technology was discovered more
than 40 years ago, fetal biometry with ultrasound measurements has
become the prima donna, and it is considered an accurate method of
estimating the baby’s birth weight AIM: this study is expected to
provide more parameters and accurate results in determining fetal growth
estimates. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study is an analytical study using
a cross-sectional approach to determine fetal growth biometry in the
Minangkabau ethnic group. The selected sample was pregnant women who
came to check their pregnancy in December 2020 at Fetomaternal clinic
Hospital M. Djamil Padang and Network Hospital in the Department of
Obstetrics and Gynecology Faculty of Medicine Andalas University.
Bivariate analysis using Pearson correlation test because the data
distribution was normally distributed with P value <0,05 and
then multivariate analysis using linear regression. RESULTS: Four
hundred pregnant women who came to check their pregnancy at 1st
trimester (4-13 weeks by USG). The characteristics of the research
subjects were the average age of pregnant women ranging from 21-31
years, primigravida, and the average level of education at senior high
school. Based on the Pearson analysis, Correlation between of each
variable GS and CRL to LMP, there is the strongest correlation between
LMP (p-value 0,000). CONCLUSIONS: We have produced a national
prescriptive standard for the initial measurement of fetal growth and
the first-trimester ultrasound dating of pregnancy that can be used in
Indonesia, especially in the Minangkabau ethnic group.
