Gestational age assessment in infants of very low birthweight
Abstract
The accuracy of gestational age assessment (Dubowitz et al., 1970) was tested for infants weighing 1500 g or less. There was good correlation with known dates. This system is applicable to and accurate for infants delivered very prematurely.
