The relationship between intrapartum cerebroplacental ratio and adverse perinatal outcomes in term fetuses

In term fetuses, lower CPR is associated with non-reassuring fetal status. CPR measurement during the intrapartum period with currently available CPR cut-off values is not a good predictor for adverse perinatal outcomes, with the exception of abnormal fetal heart rate patterns. However, the high NPV may be used to stratify pregnant women who may benefit from continuous fetal heart rate monitoring.
