Background. The purpose of the work is to determine the expediency of developing a regional standard for ultrasound screening data evaluation in pregnant women from Penza region.
Materials and methods. The author analyzed the ultrasonic fetometry data obtained at stages 2 and 3 of routine prenatal screening of 322 pregnant women in  Penza region, who delivered in 2012 (full-term babies with normal physical development at the time of delivery). The researcher estaimated biparietal sizes, frontooccipital sizes, lengths of the femur, head circumferences and abdomen circumferences of the fetus. The data obtained were compared with the literary resources used for assessment of the conformity of the fetal size to the gestational age.
Results. The article presents preliminary statistical characteristics of parameters of ultrasonic fetometry in pregnant women from Penza region. The author has identified the need to develop a regional standard for correct assessment of prenatal ultrasound screening data and calculated the volume of sample sets required for such a standard.
Conclusions. To adequately assess the results of prenatal ultrasound screening of pregnant women from Penza region it is required to use a regional standard of comparison. Prior to the completion of the standard, the date from this very work can be used as an interim standard.
