Abstract
The fetal biophysical profile (nonstress test, fetal breathing movements, fetal movements, fetal tone, amniotic fluid volume, placental grading) was assessed in 49 consecutive referred high-risk patients with twin gestations. The relationship between the last fetal biophysical profile score before delivery was compared with the pregnancy outcome--as reflected by the presence of fetal distress and perinatal death. These data suggest that the fetal biophysical profile is a useful tool for observing fetal status in patients with twin gestations, and could be reliably used as a means of follow-up of nonreactive nonstress testing in these patients.
