Introduction: To assess whether there is a difference in the behavior of fetuses from high-risk pregnancies compared with fetuses from low-risk pregnancies.
Materials and methods: We applied the Kurjak antenatal neurodevelopmental test (KANET) in high-risk (n = 65) and lowrisk (n = 119) pregnancies and compared the results. High-risk pregnancies included women with threatened preterm delivery (with premature rupture of membranes and without premature rupture of membranes), hypertension, diabetes, intrauterine growth restriction, and Rh isoimmunization.
Results: There was a difference between the results of KANET applied in these two groups; most of borderline and abnormal results were found in high-risk group, especially from pregnancies complicated by threatened preterm labor. The subgroup of pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes had most of the modified KANET scores.
Conclusion: The median values of the movements of fetuses in low-risk pregnancies were different from those in pregnancies threatened by premature birth and from the rest of the high-risk pregnancies. Fetuses from high-risk pregnancies, including threat of premature birth, had a less active fetal behavior than those from low-risk group.
