An abnormal CA and/or CP before 24 weeks and between 24 and 32 weeks has higher sensitivity for the detection of any respiratory morbidity at birth compared to the CVR at both 0.5 and 0.8 cutoffs. A normal CA and CP have a high negative predictive value for excluding any respiratory morbidity at birth both before 24 weeks and between 24 and 32 weeks.
