Former investigations have shown that the accuracy of fetal weight estimation is significantly higher if several ultrasonic fetal parameters are measured, because the total body mass depends on the size of fetal head, abdominal circumference and femur length. The aim of this investigation was to establish the best regression model, that is a number of combinations of fetal parameters providing the most accurate fetal weight estimation in utero in our population.
