This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness of electrohysterography (EHG) and electromyography (EMG) for monitoring uterine contractility compared to traditional methods.
Examines measurement modalities: EHG and EMG, focusing on their physiological origins and signal characteristics.
Compares performance of EHG and EMG against cardiotocography (CTG) and intrauterine pressure catheter as a reference standard.
Identifies barriers to effective translation, including methodological variability and the need for standardized reporting.
EHG detects ~94% of uterine contractions, significantly outperforming CTG, which identifies only ~54%.
Electrical approaches provide additional predictive parameters, such as spectral peak frequency and propagation velocity.
Call for standardization in reporting EHG research highlights the need for shared datasets and explainable machine-learning models.
