简要总结
BMD at peripheral sites typically heel is measured by Ultrasound densitometry at Ain Shams Maternity hospital.
详细描述
Consecutive patients with singleton pregnancies between 36 and 39 weeks booked at a general obstetric clinic in a regional hospital will be recruited for the study. The obstetric department is a tertiary referral center in the region and part of a university teaching unit which catered to an annual delivery of around 10,000 women.
