Aim of the study, the aim of this study is to compare the accuracy of different sonographic formulae for fetal weight estimation. Results, A considerable variation in the accuracy of the different formulae was found. For birth weights (BWs) in the range of 2500 to 3500 g, formulae based on 3 or 4 fetal biometric indices were significantly more accurate than formulae that incorporated only 1 or 2 indices. The accuracy of formulae decreased at the extreme of birth weight {u2265} 4000 gs, leading to underestimation of ABW (actual birth weight). Conclusion, we conclude that to improve the accuracy of fetal weight estimation, sonographic formulae that are based on 3 or 4 fetal biometric indices should be preferred. Recognizing the accuracy and the tendency for underestimation of each formula is important for the judicious interpretation of fetal weight estimations, especially at the extremes of fetal weight
