Key result
Heart rate variability in newborns is influenced by gestational age and pathology, with reduced variability serving as a potential prognostic marker for dysregulation in preterm and ill infants.
HRV analysis in neonates serves as a valuable tool to assess autonomic nervous system maturity and postnatal adaptation, particularly in preterm infants.

Neonatal HRV patterns remain exploratory in practice; leaves open their prognostic value pending larger outcome studies.
Javorka et al. (2017) conducted a review in Neonatal conditions. Heart rate variability monitoring was evaluated. Heart rate variability in newborns is influenced by gestational age and pathology, with reduced variability serving as a potential prognostic marker for dysregulation in preterm and ill infants.
