High risk pregnancy 649 cases with gestational age 35 weeks and above were evaluated by modified fetal biophysical profile scoring (BPS) prospectively with B-ultrasonography and electronic fetal monitor mode 115. A total of 1,066 BPS were done. There were 6 fetal deaths with a perinatal mortality rate of 9.24/1000, of whom 4 died from fatal congenital abnormality, 1 was still birth of 35 weeks prematurely delivered, and one was postterm (> 42 weeks) intrauterine death. The corrected perinatal mortality was 3.00/1000. The clinical significance of BPS in predicting fetal hypoxia was discussed. As a predictive method it did help to prevent and treat fetal hypoxic damage at an earlier stage, so that the perinatal mortality rate declined remarkably. The 4 parameters in BPS by ultrasonography were more sensitive for positive predicting than NST.
