Applicability of the Rapid Biophysical Profile in Antepartum Fetal Well-Being Assessment in High-Risk Pregnancies from a University Hospital in São Paulo, Brazil: Preliminary Results

Table 1

Mean and standard deviation of maternal age, gestational age at birth, umbilical cord pH, and Apgar score in the 1st and 5th minutes in the normal (score 4) and abnormal (score 2) rBPP groups.

	rBPP 2 (𝑁=8)		rBPP 4 (𝑁=29)		P
	Mean	SD	Mean	SD
Maternal age (years)	27.0	6.0	27.0	5.4	1.00
Gestational age (weeks)	39.0	1.5	38.4	1.7	0.39
pH	7.18	0.09	7.23	0.06	0.08
Apgar (1 minute)	7.1	1.6	8.7	0.6	<0.01
Apgar (5 minutes)	8.5	1.4	9.6	0.6	<0.01
