TLDR
The apparent superiority of sonographic EFW over clinical EFW applies principally to preterm pregnancies and the prediction limitation calculation suggests that either method, for any particular estimate between 500 and 4500 g, has limited value in the estimation of actual birth weight.About:

New Intrauterine Growth Curves Based on United States Data
Irene E. Olsen,Irene E. Olsen,Sue A. Groveman,M. Louise Lawson,Reese H. Clark,Babette S. Zemel +5 more
TL;DR: The new intrauterine growth curves created and validated in this study, based on a contemporary, large, racially diverse US sample, provide clinicians with an updated tool for growth assessment in US NICUs and may not represent the current US population.

Suspicion and treatment of the macrosomic fetus: a review.
Suneet P. Chauhan,William A. Grobman,Robert A. Gherman,Vidya B. Chauhan,Gene Chang,Everett F. Magann,Nancy W. Hendrix +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the prevalence of and ability to identify macrosomic (birthweight >4000 g) fetuses and proposed an algorithm for treatment of suspected macrosomia.

Shoulder dystocia: the unpreventable obstetric emergency with empiric management guidelines.
Robert B. Gherman,Suneet P. Chauhan,Joseph G. Ouzounian,Henry M. Lerner,Bernard Gonik,T. Murphy Goodwin +5 more
TL;DR: Despite the introduction of ancillary obstetric maneuvers, such as McRoberts maneuver and a generalized trend towards the avoidance of fundal pressure, it has been shown that the rate of shoulder-dystocia associated brachial plexus palsy has not decreased and all healthcare providers attending pregnancies must be prepared to handle vaginal deliveries complicated by shoulder dystokia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrent shoulder dystocia: A review
TL;DR: The incidence of recurrent shoulder dystocia and the incidence of brachial plexus injury in such cases were determined to formulate counseling and treatment strategies for pregnant women who have had a prior pregnancy complicated by shoulder dyStocia.

Estimation of fetal weight with the use of head, body, and femur measurements--a prospective study.
Frank P. Hadlock,Frank P. Hadlock,Ronald B. Harrist,Ronald B. Harrist,Ralph S. Sharman,Ralph S. Sharman,R. L. Deter,R. L. Deter,Seung K. Park,Seung K. Park +9 more
TL;DR: This report confirms that the best in utero weight estimates result from the use of models based on measurements of head size, abdominal size, and femur length, and recommends routine use of such models in obstetric sonography.

The Effectiveness and Costs of Elective Cesarean Delivery for Fetal Macrosomia Diagnosed by Ultrasound
TL;DR: For the 97% of pregnant women who are not diabetic, a policy of elective cesarean delivery for ultrasonographically diagnosed fetal macrosomia is medically and economically unsound, although in pregnancies complicated by diabetes, such a policy appears to be more tenable, although the merits of such an approach are debatable.

A multicenter study of preterm birth weight and gestational age—specific neonatal mortality†‡
Rachel L. Copper,Robert L. Goldenberg,Robert K. Creasy,Mary B. DuBard,Richard O. Davis,Stephen S. Entman,Jay D. Iams,Suzanne P. Cliver +7 more
TL;DR: When compared with rates in previous reports, mortality rates appear to have improved, especially at gestational ages < 29 weeks, and may be useful in decision-making and in counseling patients at risk for preterm delivery.

Antenatal steroids, delivery mode, and intraventricular hemorrhage in preterm infants
Laura R. Ment,William Oh,Richard A. Ehrenkranz,Alistair G.S. Philip,Charles C. Duncan,Robert W. Makuch +5 more
TL;DR: These data are the first to suggest that both antenatal steroids and cesarean section delivery have an important and independent role in lowering the risk of early-onset intraventricular hemorrhage.

Fetal macrosomia: Does antenatal prediction affect delivery route and birth outcome?
TL;DR: The antenatal prediction of fetal macrosomia is associated with a marked increase in cesarean deliveries without a significant reduction in the incidence of shoulder dystocia or fetal injury.
