May enhance intrapartum CTG reliability; leaves open prospective validation before clinical use.
Does a novel computerized algorithm accurately identify intrapartum fetal heart rate baseline and decelerations compared to visual assessment?
A novel computerized algorithm for intrapartum cardiotocography analysis is as accurate as gold standard visual assessment, with high correlation and low bias.
Gyllencreutz et al. (2018) studied this question.
