Abstract
A kick chart has been recorded by 200 high-risk pregnancies during their antepartum hospitalization. Except for 19 mothers who presented with an unreliable count, this study suggests a good correlation between an abnormal kick chart and an increased risk of intrauterine death. The obstetrical outcome was much better among the patients with a normal kick chart compared to those with an abnormal count. This easy, cheap, low-technology test could be useful in developing countries when monitoring of fetal well-being is required.Entities:
