Association of placental morphology and fetal birth weight

Background: The placenta plays a crucial role in sustaining pregnancy and supporting healthy foetal growth and function. Placental morphology predicts illness patterns in adults and foetal development. Birth weight is a significant predictor of a child's survival, healthy development, and growth. The connection between birth weight and perinatal outcome has long been understood in obstetrics. As is generally known, low birth weight is a known risk factor for the child's long-term health. The aim of the study was to find any association between birth weight, gender and placental morphology. Methods: An analytical cross sectional study was conducted in the anatomy department of  Anatomy, Bhaarath Medical college and  Hospital, Chennai. Placentae of 200  were collected. Morphological analysis including placental weight, number of cotyledons, site of umbilical cord insertion and fetal and maternal surface area, were measured in normal and low birth weight babies. Results: Birth weight showed a positive connection with gestational age. Birth weight and greater values in men were positively and significantly correlated with placental parameters (p 0.001). Regression models employing the newborn's sex and placental morphometry were used to estimate the birth weight; weight (R2=0.461), surface area (R2=0.411), and volume (R2=0.456) were calculated.
