Comparison of modified biophysical profile and doppler ultrasonography studies in predicting perinatal outcome in high-risk pregnancies
Author(s): Dr. Eldrida Theresa Fernandes and Dr. Subhashchandra R Mudanur
Abstract:
In order to improve perinatal outcomes and reduce mother and foetal morbidity and mortality especially in high-risk pregnancies, there is an immense need to do thorough antepartum surveillance test.
Aims and Objectives: To compare modified biophysical profile (MBPP) and Doppler studies results for prediction of perinatal outcome and to evaluate the association between the mode of delivery and abnormal Doppler and MBPP.
Methodology: This is a prospective observational and comparative study. High-risk term patients were taken in this study, following which MBPP and Doppler studies were performed within 48 to 72 hours of delivery.
The study population were divided as follows and perinatal outcome was assessed:
A-Normal MBPP and normal Doppler velocimetry
B-Normal MBPP and abnormal Doppler velocimetry
C-Abnormal MBPP and normal Doppler velocimetry
D-Abnormal MBPP and abnormal Doppler velocimetry.
Results: The high-risk factor for the greatest number of patients, which accounted for 39.33% of patients, was pregnancy-induced hypertension. Age was less than 25 years in 88 patients (55%). 67 patients were primigravida (44.7%), LSCS was the mode of termination of pregnancy in 127 (84.7%) patients.
Greatest prenatal complications occurred in individuals who had abnormal MBPP and Doppler, with a significant P value of < 0.05., Subsequently followed by MBPP, which had a significantly higher NPV than Doppler studies (63.64% vs. 59.41%), which makes it helpful for identifying healthy new-borns.
Conclusion: In our study, it was determined that better prediction of adverse perinatal outcome was observed when both Doppler studies and MBPP was done in combination followed by MBPP.
