Abstract

The fetal biophysical profile score was modified by selective use of the nonstress test. In 2712 study patients (7851 tests) the incidence of nonstress test was reduced to 2.7% with no measurable effect or test accuracy. The nonstress test was most useful in evaluation of abnormal ultrasound monitored variables.
