Abstract
Pediatricians have repeatedly stressed the need for accurate assessment of gestational age in the human fetus and newborn to ascertain neonatal risk, to permit age-controlled studies of neonatal physiology, and to provide baseline data for the developmental testing of preterm infants (Usher, McLean and Scott, 1966; Finnstrom, 1972).
