Estimating Gestational Age from Foot Length
gestational age if assume mean foot length development =
= (4.3 * (10^(-10)) * ((foot length in mm)^6)) + (-7.8 * (10^(-8)) * ((foot length in mm)^5)) + (1.8 * (10^(-6)) * ((foot length in mm)^4)) + (4.041 * (10^(-4)) * ((foot length in mm)^3)) + (-0.028062 * ((foot length in mm)^2)) + (0.9353103 * (foot length in mm)) + 5.381448)
minimum gestational age from foot length =
= (7.4 * (10^(-10)) * ((foot length in mm)^6)) + (-1.9 * (10^(-7)) * ((foot length in mm)^5)) + (1.66 * (10^(-5)) * ((foot length in mm)^4)) + (-5.11 * (10^(-4)) * ((foot length in mm)^3)) + (-0.001758 * ((foot length in mm)^2)) + (0.6063543 * (foot length in mm)) + 6.1692351)
maximum gestational age from foot length =
= (-4.8 * (10^(-10)) * ((foot length in mm)^6)) + (2 * (10^(-7)) * ((foot length in mm)^5)) + (-2.4 * (10^(-5)) * ((foot length in mm)^4)) + (0.0016983 * ((foot length in mm)^3)) + (-0.059862 * ((foot length in mm)^2)) + (1.2813119 * (foot length in mm)) + 4.7547504)
