What does a BPP score of 6 mean?

BPP 6 (equivocal): if fluid is normal and gestational age ≤36 weeks, repeat in 24 hours. If fluid is abnormal or gestational age >36 weeks, delivery is often recommended. Individual center protocols vary.

What is the modified BPP?

Modified BPP = NST + AFI. If NST reactive and AFI >5 cm = normal (same day reassurance). This two-component test is faster and sufficient for routine outpatient fetal surveillance.

What is the false negative rate of BPP?

BPP false negative rate (normal test followed by stillbirth within 1 week) is approximately 0.7-0.8 per 1,000 tests. This is lower than NST alone (3.2 per 1,000), making BPP the more sensitive fetal surveillance test.

Biophysical Profile (BPP) Fetal Well-being Score

Calculate the Biophysical Profile (BPP) score for fetal surveillance. Five parameters (NST, breathing movements, body movement, tone, amniotic fluid) each scored 0 or 2. Score 8-10 = normal; 6 = equivocal; ≤4 = abnormal requiring delivery consideration.
