Abstract
- The incidence of false-negative fetal death, which is defined as stillbirth unrelated to major anomaly or alloimmunization occurring after a last normal fetal biophysical score, was determined in 19,221 referred high-risk pregnancies. The calculated rate of fetal death after a last normal test was 0.726/1000 (14 deaths), which remained relatively constant despite a progressive increase in tests and patients studied. We conclude that a normal fetal biophysical profile score confers a high probability of perinatal survival.
