Explanation:

Cornification index is the proportion of the superficial and anuclear epithelial cells on a vaginal cytology.

Cornification of vagina is well marked in the vagina of new born infant because of the high oestrogen level which has been transmitted from the mother.

In the first half of a normal pregnancy, the cornification index is low and should not exceed 10%.

A progesterone deficiency is shown by a rise in cornification index and if the index rises over 25%, the patient is liable to abort. In late pregnancy, the cornification index falls even lower and at term may fall below 10%.
