    | Observation | Score | | :--- | :--- | | No palpable breast tissue (areola flat) | 0 | | Palpable nodule < 5mm diameter | 5 | | Palpable nodule 5 to 10mm diameter | 10 | | Palpable nodule > 10mm diameter | 15 |

    Rationale: Breast tissue develops under the influence of maternal estrogens and fetal prolactin. Size correlates linearly with gestational age from 28 to 40 weeks.

    The Capurro method utilizes a point-based system where each criterion is assigned a numerical value. The sum of these points corresponds to a specific gestational age in weeks. No method is perfect

    The original method is distinct in that the Posture Sign carries significant weight. The total score provides a correlation coefficient with ultrasonography estimated age, typically within a margin of error of ± 1 to 1.5 weeks.

    Table 1: Sample Scoring Interpretation (Simplified) | Total Score | Approximate Gestational Age | | :--- | :--- | | 10 - 15 points | 30 - 33 weeks | | 16 - 20 points | 34 - 36 weeks | | 21 - 25 points | 37 - 39 weeks | | 26+ points | 40+ weeks |
