    Abstract

    Background: Foot length (FL) measurement is an easy and highly efficient anthropometric parameter used as a proxy method for assessing a newborn’s gestational age (GA) in low-resource settings. The present study aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of postnatal FL measurement in predicting GA in newborns and compare it with other methods of GA assessment, particularly the New Ballard Score (NBS). Methods: This single-institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at the Dr. BR Ambedkar Medical College and Hospital, Karnataka, India, from December 2018 to May 2020 to include 102 live newborns. Prenatal GA was assessed by ultrasonography (USG), while postnatal GA was estimated using the NBS. Demographic details and anthropometric measurements of the infants, including gender, birth weight (BW), mode of delivery, head circumference (HC), crown-heel length (CHL), and right FL, were recorded.
