Placental thickness to fetal weight ratio and pregnancy risks
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the ratio of placental thickness to fetal weight can help predict problems during pregnancy, such as poor fetal growth. It may help doctors identify higher-risk pregnancies earlier.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are pregnant with one baby (not twins or triplets).
- You are between 28 and 38 weeks pregnant.
- Your baby does not have any known birth defects.
- You do not have a chronic condition like diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney disease that affects fetal growth.
- You are willing to join the study and sign a consent form.

This study measures the thickness of the placenta in women with placenta previa to see if it affects pregnancy outcomes and can help doctors plan safer care and earlier transportation if needed.
This study measures the thickness and volume of the placenta in healthy, single-baby pregnancies from 11 to 18 weeks. The goal is to create a reference chart that could help doctors spot problems early.
This study looks at ultrasound images of the placenta taken during pregnancy to see if they can predict how well the placenta works or what it looks like under a microscope. It may help doctors understand more about pregnancy complications like fetal growth restriction.
This study looks at whether measuring the thickness of the baby's belly fat with ultrasound can help predict the baby's weight before birth. This is for women at full term (37 to 42 weeks) with one baby.
This study looks at how the placenta is working in pregnancies that are planned for cesarean delivery after at least 37 weeks. Researchers compare different pregnancy situations (including some common complications) and check placenta function to better understand placental health.
This study uses ultrasound to measure the thickness of the placenta and nearby uterus in pregnant women with a condition called placenta accreta, to see if these measurements can help predict how much bleeding might happen after delivery.
