Diagnosis of Neonatal problems through assessment of growth & gestational age
It is important to know the infant’s gestational age because normal behavior and possible medical problems can be predicted on this basis. The date of the last menstrual period is the best indicator of gestational age with early fetal ultrasound providing supporting information. Postnatal physical characteristics and neurologic development are also clues to gestational age.
