TÓM TẮT Đặt vấn đề: Thời kỳ sơ sinh là thời kỳ dễ tổn thương nhất trong cuộc đời. Đối với những trẻ sơ sinh sinh ra với một tình trạng bệnh lý nặng hoặc cần chăm sóc đặc biệt ngay thì việc xác định các yếu tố trưởng thành về thể chất và thần kinh để đánh giá tuổi thai hay các chỉ số nhân trắc học là khá khó khăn. Nghiên cứu nhằm mô tả chiều dài bàn chân, các chỉ số nhân trắc học và tìm hiểu mối tương quan giữa chiều dài bàn chân với các chỉ số nhân trắc và tuổi thai theo Ballard mới ở trẻ sơ sinh. Phương pháp: 240 trẻ sơ sinh được nhập viện và sống trong vòng 24 giờ đầu sau sinh tại Trung tâm Nhi khoa Bệnh viện Trung ương Huế và Bệnh viện Trường Đại học Y Dược Huế, thời gian nghiên cứu từ tháng 4/2019 đến tháng 1/2021. Thiết kế nghiên cứu mô tả cắt ngang. Kết quả: Giá trị trung bình và độ lệch chuẩn của chiều dài bàn chân là 76,4 ± 7,7 mm. Có mối tương quan thuận mức độ rất chặt giữa chiều dài bàn chân với tuổi thai (r = 0,927), cân nặng (r = 0,898), chiều dài (r = 0,891), vòng đầu (r = 0,851) và vòng ngực (r = 0,793). Điểm cắt chiều dài bàn chân ≤ 77,2 mm có độ nhạy (88,4%) và độ đặc hiệu (96,1%) để tiên đoán trẻ sơ sinh non tháng. Điểm cắt chiều dài bàn chân ≤ 73,1 mm có độ nhạy (95,4%) và độ đặc hiệu (90,9%) để tiên đoán trẻ sơ sinh cân nặng thấp. Kết luận: Chiều dài bàn chân có tương quan thuận rất chặt với tuổi thai, cân nặng, chiều dài, vòng đầu, vòng ngực. Đồng thời chiều dài bàn chân có độ nhạy và độ đặc hiệu cao trong tiên đoán trẻ sơ sinh non tháng hoặc có cân nặng thấp, đây là một chỉ số đáng tin cậy ở những nơi còn thiếu nhân lực và trang thiết bị như cân nặng, siêu âm. ABSTRACT CORRELATION OF FOOT LENGTH AND ANTHROPOMETRIC PARAMETERS AND GESTATIONAL AGE OF NEWBORN BY NEW BALLARD SCORE Background: Neonatal period is the most vulnerable period of life. For neonates born with a serious medical condition or who need immediate intensive care, determining physical and neurological maturation factors to assess gestational age or anthropometric indices is quite difficult. Therefore, determining the correlation of foot length with anthropometric indices and gestational age according to Ballard score, is a priority in the research. This study describes the foot length, some anthropometric parameters; and study the correlation between foot length and some anthropometric parameters and gestational age of newborn by new Ballard score. Methods: A survey was conducted with 240 neonatal in the first 24 hours at The Pediatric Center in Hue Central Hospital and Hue University Hospital of Medicine and Pharmacy from 4/2019 to 1/2021. Results: The Mean ± SD at birth for Foot Length (FL) was 76.4 ± 7.7 mm. The difference in FL between males and females was not statistically significant. We observed a significant correlation between FL and other anthropometric variables namely GA (r = 0.927), BW (r = 0.898), HC (r = 0.851), CC (r = 0.793) and length (r = 0.891). Using Receiver Operative Characteristic (ROC) curve analysis, we found that FL ≤ 73.1 mm had 95.4% sensitivity and 90.9% specificity in identifying LBW babies. FL ≤ 77.2 mm had 88.4% sensitivity and 96.1% specificity for identifying preterm babies. Conclusions: We observed a significant correlation between foot length and other variables, namely birth weight, gestational age, head circumference, chest circumference, and length. Foot length had a high sensitivity and specificity in identifying LBW and Preterm babies, making it a reliable variable in the rural setup where weighing facilities, ultrasound, and trained personnel are not available.

Background: Fetal age actually begins at conception and an equivalent term is conceptional age. Uncertain gestational age (GA) has been associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes independent of maternal characteristics. The objective was to evaluate the accuracy of fetal foot length (FFL) in estimation of gestational age.Methods: It was a cross sectional study. Trans abdominal ultrasound on 150 pregnant women with normal singleton pregnancies between 16 to 40 weeks was done to measure FFL. The relationship between GA and FFL was analysed by simple linear regression.Results: A linear relationship was demonstrated between FFL and GA. (GA (in weeks)=7.490+0.393×FFL (in mm)) with significant correlation (r=0.985, p<0.001).Conclusions: Ultrasonographic measurement of FFL is a reliable indicator of gestational age and can be a useful alternative to estimate GA when other routine biometric parameters are not conclusive.

The Relationship

Preterm births have a high risk of mortality. Therefore, knowledge of the gestational age (GA) at birth is crucial to guide the appropriate management of a newborn. Common methods for estimating GA such as the last menstrual period, ultrasonography, and post-natal Ballard scoring have some limitations. This study aimed to determine the relationship between foot length and GA to develop and validate an equation for predicting GA of Pakistani newborns. We conducted a prospective study in a large obstetric hospital in Pakistan. Data for this analysis were extracted from the hospital files of eligible women by trained study midwives. Midwives were also trained in performing the Ballard examination and taking foot length using a disposable measuring tape within an hour of the birth. The GA was calculated using an android-based GA calculator. Simple and multiple linear regression were used to construct predicting equations for GA. Both the foot length and GA were available for 1542 cases. The median GA was 34.5 (IQR 4.7) weeks and the median foot length was 7 cm (IQR 1.4). There was a positive linear relationship between foot length and GA ( r2 81.7%, P-value < .001). Stratified analysis showed an r2 of 81.7% for males and 81.6% for females. The r2 for stillbirths was 84.1% and, 82.3% for live births. The r2 for macerated stillbirths was 88.6% and 90.6% for fresh stillbirths. In resource poor settings, the use of foot length can estimate GA in both live births and stillbirths and can easily identify preterm infants.
