Prospective study investigates cardiotocography's role in predicting neonatal outcomes, suggesting careful interpretation.

This research aims to explore the links between cardiotocography findings, umbilical arterial blood gas parameters, and neonatal outcomes.
Prospective study of 596 women who delivered at a tertiary hospital.
Comparison of demographic and neonatal characteristics between operative delivery for non-reassuring fetal status and controls.
Multivariable logistic regression analysis to identify factors linked with umbilical arterial pH < 7.20.
Mean umbilical arterial pH was significantly lower in non-reassuring fetal status group (7.30 vs. 7.32, p < 0.05).
Twenty-eight neonates (4.7%) exhibited umbilical arterial pH < 7.20.
CTG identified non-reassuring fetal status with 42.9% sensitivity and 73.6% specificity.
