OBJECTIVE The relation between biophysical profile (BPP), cerebroplacental (C/P) ratio, and lecithin/sphingomyelin (L/S) ratio as a predictor perinatal outcome in term intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) neonates was evaluated. METHODS A retrospective study of the perinatal outcome of 77 term monofetal pregnancies complicated with IUGR fetuses (< 10 percentile) who were terminated by cesarean section in 2010 was performed at the Institute of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Belgrade. RESULTS The most frequent early neonatal complication was asphyxia. The authors found a strong correlation between the L/S ratio and birth weight (BW) r = 0.609, as well as between BPP and Apgar score 5 r = 0.583. Significant negative correlation was found between asphyxia and BPP r = -0.398, as well as between asphyxia and C/P ratio r = -0.379. CONCLUSIONS In serous IUGR neonates, low values of BPP and L/S ratios predicted asphyxia.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007231	Infant, Newborn	An infant during the first 28 days after birth.	Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D010920	Placenta	A highly vascularized mammalian fetal-maternal organ and major site of transport of oxygen, nutrients, and fetal waste products. It includes a fetal portion (CHORIONIC VILLI) derived from TROPHOBLASTS and a maternal portion (DECIDUA) derived from the uterine ENDOMETRIUM. The placenta produces an array of steroid, protein and peptide hormones (PLACENTAL HORMONES).	Placentoma, Normal,Placentome,Placentas,Placentomes
D011237	Predictive Value of Tests	In screening and diagnostic tests, the probability that a person with a positive test is a true positive (i.e., has the disease), is referred to as the predictive value of a positive test; whereas, the predictive value of a negative test is the probability that the person with a negative test does not have the disease. Predictive value is related to the sensitivity and specificity of the test.

D011247	Pregnancy	The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.	Gestation,Pregnancies
D012127	Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Newborn	A condition of the newborn marked by DYSPNEA with CYANOSIS, heralded by such prodromal signs as dilatation of the alae nasi, expiratory grunt, and retraction of the suprasternal notch or costal margins, mostly frequently occurring in premature infants, children of diabetic mothers, and infants delivered by cesarean section, and sometimes with no apparent predisposing cause.
