Doubts arose in February 2007 during a meeting between the authors of this editorial and Dr. Ahmed Baschat’s group in San Francisco USA which then led to 2 years’ work supported by the Colombian Federation of Perinatology Federación Colombiana de Perinatología -FECOPEN and Medicina Fetal SA Medellín aimed at reaching points of agreement between leading perinatology doctors inColombia, seeking to talk the same language regarding how to define the entity, facilitate follow-up and define gestational age and route attheendofpregnancy.Anationalconsensusofexperts finally managed to agree on points in common and identify those matters for discussion which still remained confused.Methodological,rigorousandsystematicwork on reviewing the available publications on the topic led to recommendations being made which were evidencebased and in line with our medical setting.
Dentro de los puntos identificados como prioridad para futuras investigaciones, está en primer lugar la creación de tablas de crecimiento fetal obtenidas de nuestra población mediante métodos válidos y confiables,enfocados en un adecuado diligenciamiento del certificado de nacimiento DANE y en los datos de la historia clínica perinatal del CENTRO LATINO AMERICANO DE PERINATOLOGIA Y DESARROLLO HUMANO CLAP/OPS-OMS CLAP.
