    An AI model for estimating gestational age from blind sweep ultrasonography showed accuracy comparable to the clinical standard in two clinical settings.

  • 2

    The study enrolled 2,043 patients, with 385 pregnancies between 16 and 36 weeks included in the primary analysis.

  • 3

    The AI model achieved a mean absolute error (MAE) of 4.2 days, while the clinical standard had an MAE of 4.5 days.

  • 4

    Performance of the AI model was consistent across Chicago and Nairobi, with MAEs of 4.1 and 4.3 days, respectively.

  • 5

    The study noted limitations, including differences in operator training and small sample sizes for subgroup analyses.
