Dutch term or phrase: fac
Hi again colleagues,

Another abbreviation I'm a bit stuck with.
This is another gynecological report:
Some context:
Reg CTR gaat wel goed, begint last te krijgen van de rug
Echo: fac P93 HC nu te groot gemeten. Nl vw.
OGTT eerder gb
UZO normaal

Beleid
-Hb controle
- groei herhalen met HC 2 weken.

I know that HC stands for head circumference and the baby is in the 93rd percentile which equals to a large head. 'fac' not so sure about. FAC is perhaps fetal abdominal circumference. But kind of confused where that would fit in.

Any help appreciated.

Explanation:
I agree with your original conjecture because this is a fundamental parameter used to assess the size of the fetus.

They talk about FAC percentile and seems to be the right context.

neutral  Barend van Zadelhoff: = nonsense; this is no echographic parameter, but a parameter measured in an exercise-stress test through wearing a mask; also, does not fit the context at all.

agree  Barend van Zadelhoff: Yes, this may explain it. It should have been written as: Echo: FAC P93 ; HC nu te groot gemeten.
