ABSTRACT:

Objective: The objective of this research was to assess the poor biophysical profile patients for the adverse perinatal outcome. Materials and Methods: We carried out this cross-sectional research at Jinnah Hospital, Lahore (October 2018 to March 2019) on a total of one hundred patients who were enrolled in the age bracket of (20 – 35) years. The poor biophysical profile of patients was with a score under 8/10 out of five parameters as assessed through USG evaluation. The patients were screened with singleton pregnancy at 32nd to 42nd gestational week as calculated from the last menstruation cycle and duly confirmed through USG assessment. We also assessed poor APGAR and the cesarean section as adverse perinatal outcomes. Results: Research population consisted of 100 patients with a respective mean age and mean gestational age of (26 ± 43) years and (37.78 ± 2.66) weeks. There were 45, 32 and 23 patients respectively in age brackets of (20 – 25) years, (26 – 30) years and (31 – 35) years. Poor APGAR score was reported in 92 patients; whereas, 75 patients received cesarean section. Conclusion: Adverse perinatal outcomes occurrence like poor APGAR score (at five minutes) was high among the patients showing poor biophysical profile. Keywords: Cesarean Section, Poor Biophysical Profile, APGAR Score, Mean Age and Gestational Age.
