Study groups often considered representative of entire populations inevitably do not consider normal fetuses because nonpathologic events can alter the study parameters. Therefore, the term "normal" and its range, when used for comparisons, must be scrutinized by the obstetrician, pediatrician, and those with medicolegal concerns.
