About the Garbhini-GA2:

  • The Garbhini-GA2 is an India-specific AI model designed to accurately estimate the gestational age (GA) of fetuses in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters of pregnancy.
  • This model is notable for being the first late-trimester GA estimation model validated with data from the Indian population, specifically the GARBH-Ini dataset.
  • It relies on 3 routinely measured fetal ultrasound parameters and significantly reduces the median error in GA estimation by more than three times compared to the Hadlock method.
  • The significance of Garbhini-GA2 lies in its potential to improve prenatal care, provide accurate epidemiological estimates, and reduce maternal and infant mortality rates in India.
  • This is particularly important as the Hadlock method may yield errors in the later stages of pregnancy due to foetal growth variations in the Indian population, and the majority of Indian women have their first ultrasound in the later trimesters.
