Comparative Study
A comparison of fetal biparietal diameter measurements between local Chinese and Caucasian populations.
Since the advent of ultrasound, various workers have published nomograms of the fetal biparietal diameters (BPD). In the Singapore General Hospital, the nomogram established by Campbell and Newman was adopted initially for our multi-racial society. ⋯ The reasons for the difference remain speculative. The presence of the statistical difference between the two means and the 2 standard errors establishes the need for constructing nomograms for our own local reference.
