Abstract
High‐risk pregnant women have an increased risk of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Antepartum fetal surveillance is important and should be effective in such conditions. Modified biophysical profile (MBPP) is the method of antepartum surveillance which comprises cardiotocography and amniotic fluid index. AFI is a marker of long‐term placental function and NST is a marker of short‐term fetal condition. This study aims to assess the role of Modified Biophysical Profile in high‐ risk pregnancies and assess perinatal outcomes and study the impact of NST and AFI individually in high‐risk pregnancies. It is a prospective cohort study conducted on 372 ANC patients with high‐risk factors who were evaluated with modified biophysical profile 37 weeks onwards with a non‐stress test (NST) for 20 minutes and amniotic fluid index (AFI) with 4 quadrant technique. High‐risk pregnancies include preeclampsia, IUGR, oligohydramnios, postdated pregnancy, etc. and various parameters were assessed to determine perinatal and maternal morbidity. All parameters were statistically analyzed. The above study states that the need for LSCS, intrapartum fetal distress, meconium‐stained liquor, APGAR score, need for neonatal resuscitation and perinatal morbidity were higher in cases with abnormal MBPP. MBPP is an easy, cost‐effective and time‐saving measure and hence can be used as a primary antepartum fetal surveillance test to predict perinatal outcomes and provide timely intervention in high‐risk pregnancies.
