Table 4.

Comparison of the estimated GA (weeks) using regression model based on the cardiac valve intervals with the gold standard (identified by CRL), for the cases with various types of anomalies and arrhythmias.

Marks the estimated GA >42 weeks, where the abnormal condition affects the valve intervals or FHR, therefore the regression model fails to estimate the GA correctly.

The difference (estimated GA - CRL GA) for the cases marked with * is outside the confidence interval of the error of GA estimation for healthy cases.
