Perinatal mortality remains high in low- and middle-income countries. Accurate assessment of fetal gestational age is crucial to distinguish between prematurity and intrauterine growth restriction, 2 conditions commonly associated with perinatal mortality that require different preventive strategies and management. Ultrasound measurements of the cerebellum have been shown to be accurate in assessing gestational age during pregnancy, but their postmortem performance has not yet been evaluated.

通过超声小脑测量评估胎儿和围生儿死亡的胎龄


低收入和中等收入国家的围产期死亡率仍然很高。准确评估胎龄对于区分早产儿和宫内生长受限至关重要，这两种疾病通常与围产期死亡率有关，需要不同的预防策略和管理。小脑的超声测量已被证明在评估怀孕期间的胎龄方面是准确的，但尚未评估其死后性能。
