"Some reports show maternal fasting resulting in reduced fetal breathing movements which can in turn affect the BPP score 5."
"Umbilical arterial Doppler assessment is usually additionally carried out to evaluate fetuses with abnormal BPP scores."
"Therefore on ultrasound assessment, a total score is given out of 8. An overall abnormal score out of 8 is often taken as 4/8 or less."
