Analysis of the relationship between umbilical cord placental morphology and anthropometric measurements of the newborn

Abstract

Objectives: Uteroplacental and maternal environment are the main factors affecting fetal growth and development. We aimed to investigate the relationship between umbilical cord and morphologic characteristics of the placenta and anthropometric measurements of the newborn.
Methodology: The parameters of newborn were recorded. Placenta weight and umbilical chord length were recorded. The umbilical cord vessels diameters were measured.
Results: Of the 303 newborns, 151 (49.8%) were female babies and 152 (50.2%) were male babies. The mean value of birth length was 49.58
