Key result
The STV240 algorithm yielded significantly lower short-term variation values compared to the STV16 algorithm, with its 95th percentile falling below the established STV16 cut-off.

Does the STV240 algorithm yield different reference values compared to the STV16 algorithm for fetal heart rate analysis?
The new STV240 algorithm for fetal heart rate analysis yields significantly lower values than the established STV16 algorithm, requiring clinicians to use updated reference cut-offs.
Kouskouti et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Fetal heart rate monitoring (n=228). STV240 algorithm vs. STV16 algorithm was evaluated on Short-term variation (STV) values. The STV240 algorithm yielded significantly lower short-term variation values compared to the STV16 algorithm, with its 95th percentile falling below the established STV16 cut-off.
