Abstract
A group of 252 patients who had total intrauterine volume (TIUV) measurements after 20 weeks menstrual age were evaluated for prediction of growth retardation. The measurements were compared to previously published normal values derived at our institution. The birth weights of these patients' babies were evaluated by the California standard. Setting the threshold of an abnormal test at the lower 10% tolerance limit, the TIUV measurement was sensitive in 70%, specific in 72%, and accurate in predicting IUGR in only 41% of cases. Ultrasonic estimation of TIUV is limited as a predictor of IUGR.

We evaluated the predictiveness of sonographically estimated fetal weight as a function of the estimation of probability of having intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) before obtaining an ultrasound scan (prior probability). The value of the estimated fetal weight resided more in its high specific
## Abstract Four hundred and five women with singleton pregnancies and fetal age determination by crownβrump length were classified on the basis of their prenatal clinical findings into four risk categories for intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), defined as a neonatal weight below the 10th perc
Second-and third-trimester growth in 34 twin fetuses was evaluated with ultrasonography by measurement of five anatomic parameters. Rossavik growth models, derived from second-trimester measurements, were used to specify expected thirdtrimester growth curves. Actual measurements were compared to pre
Lung volumes and pulmonary expiratory flow values were investigated in 67 children from multiple pregnancies (30 twins, one set of triplets, one set of quadruplets) at the age of 7-15 years. At birth, 30 of 67 children (44%) had intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR, birth weight <-2 SD or birth wei
