Abstract
Measurements were recorded using a digital vernier caliper between 24–72 hours Infant was held in position by an assistant while the investigator measured clitoral length by gently retracting the labia majora Anogenital distance centre of the anus to posterior convergence of the fourchette and anogenital ratio anogenital distance divided by the distance from centre of the anus to base of the clitoris was also measuredMean clitoral length was 31 154 mm for the whole cohort while anogenital distance and anogenital ratio were 102 278 mm and 034 007 mm respectively The gestation agewise percentile charts of clitoral length anogenital distance and anogenital ratio have been generated There was no correlation between clitoral length and gestational age body length head circumference and birth weight Correlations were also weak for anogenital distance
