title: [Biophysical profile in twin pregnancy: prospective study].
abstract: The biophysical profile is an excellent test for assessment of the fetoplacental unit, for analyze is value in twin gestation, we study prospectively 81 multiple gestations. The fetuses were examined weekly antepartum. We use the modified profile of Manning which include only the sonographic criteria: the figures for predict stillborn were: sensitivity of 66.7%, specificity of 98.8%, positive predictive value of 50% and negative predictive value of 99.4% and predict between distressed and healthy fetus of a pair; 94.6% of fetus perform good biophysical profile score twenty minutes. We conclude that the fetal biophysical profile is the elective tool in the assessment of twin gestations.
