The use of the total maturity score (TMS) as a means of estimating gestational age was assessed in a population of 76 low birthweight infants (less than or equal to 2500 g) and 80 matched controls (greater than 2500 g) all of certain gestational ages. The gestational ages, derived from the last menstrual period and from the TMS, were similar except in preterm low birthweight infants. The discrepancy in this group was attributed to the structure of the scoring system. It is concluded that the TMS is a convenient and accurate method of assessing gestational age in term babies.
在一组76名低出生体重婴儿(小于或等于2500克)和80名匹配对照(大于2500克)中评估了使用总成熟度评分(TMS)作为估计胎龄的方法,所有婴儿均处于特定胎龄。根据末次月经和TMS得出的胎龄相似,除了早产低出生体重婴儿。该组中的差异归因于评分系统的结构。得出的结论是,TMS是评估足月儿胎龄的一种便捷且准确的方法。
