Key result
Fetal electrocardiography-derived heart rate acceleration features significantly differed between normal fetuses and those with suspected abnormalities.

Can fetal heart rate acceleration features extracted from fetal electrocardiography differentiate between normal and potentially abnormal fetuses?
Fetal heart rate acceleration features extracted from fetal electrocardiography show promise as classifiers to distinguish between normal and abnormal fetuses.
Li et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Fetal condition (normal vs potentially abnormal) (n=44). Fetal electrocardiography (FECG) was evaluated on Fetal heart rate (FHR) acceleration features (duration and amplitude). Fetal electrocardiography-derived heart rate acceleration features significantly differed between normal fetuses and those with suspected abnormalities.
