Resource Profile: Observation - Gestational Age at Delivery

The obstetric estimate of the infant’s gestation in completed weeks based on the birth/delivery attendant’s final estimate of gestation which should be determined by all perinatal factors and assessments such as ultrasound, but not the neonatal exam. For submission to NCHS, values in days will be divided by 7 without remainder, and values in weeks will be rounded down to an integer.

Usage:
