Prospective gestational age assessment using clinical and technical based data avoids unnecessary patient and physician apprehension, iatrogenic risk and expense. Careful antepartum and intrapartum monitoring of fetal condition is required to avoid excessive morbidity and mortality in those patients whose unfavorable cervical condition disallows the safe induction of labor beyond 41 weeks of gestation.
使用基于临床和技术的数据进行前瞻性胎龄评估可避免患者和医生不必要的担忧、医源性风险及费用。对于宫颈条件不佳不允许在妊娠41周后安全引产的患者，需要在产前和产时仔细监测胎儿状况，以避免过高的发病率和死亡率。
