Abstract
PAPP-A values expressed in MoM are an independent predictor of fetal macrosomy and are not influenced by maternal factors or early fetal ultrasound parameters. PAPP-A (MoM) values exceeding 1.89 can predict fetal macrosomia with a specificity of above 80%. In 75% of cases, PAPP-A (MoM) values discriminate between future neonates with normal weight and those with macrosomia.
