Objectives: In a high risk population where chances of adverse outcome are relatively high and almost all the pregnancies are under strict monitoring, biophysical profiling further helps to identify adverse outcome and thus a basis for intervention. In this study, we aim to evaluate the role of modified biophysical profile in high risk pregnancies and fetal outcome.
Methods: Total 125 high risk pregnancies and were monitored for modified biophysical profiling from GA 34 weeks onwards. AFI 8 and non-reactive NST were considered as abnormal BPP. Apgar 7 at 5 min, MSL, NNU admission and neonatal death were considered as adverse fetal outcomes. Chi-square test was used to compare the data.
Results: Mean age was 24.32
