"Cerebroplacental ratio (CPR) is an obstetric ultrasound tool used to predict adverse pregnancy outcomes in both small for gestational age (SGA) and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) fetuses. An abnormal CPR reflects redistribution of cardiac output to the cerebral circulation and has been associated with intrapartum fetal distress, increased rates of emergency caesarean sections and NICU admissions and poorer neurological outcomes."
