Fetal well-being in labor could be assessed trough cardiotocography (CTG). Some doubts have been raised about its unequivocal applicability. Pathological CTG is in most cases connected to fetal acidos...
This study aimed to explore obstetric care professionals' experiences with using cardiotocograph (CTG) information and how they employ this tool in their practice....
Qualitative study, involving 30 semi-structured interviews and two focus group sessions. Conventional content analysis was used for data analysis....
Amsterdam University Medical Centers in the Netherlands....
In total, 43 care professionals participated. The respondents included obstetricians, residents in obstetrics and gynaecology, junior physicians, clinical midwives and nurses....
Three main categories were identified that influenced the use of cardiotocography in practice; (1) individual characteristics involving knowledge, experience and personal beliefs; (2) teams involving ...
This study underlines the importance of teamwork when working with cardiotocography in practice. There is a particular need to create shared responsibility among team members for cardiotocography inte...
In the Netherlands, antenatal cardiotocography (aCTG), used to assess fetal well-being, is performed in obstetrician-led care. To improve continuity of care, an innovation project was designed wherein...
Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire based on the Consumer Quality Index. The primary outcome was general satisfaction on a 10-point scale, with a score above nine indicating ...
In total, 1227 women were included in the analysis. The study showed a mean general satisfaction score of 9.2. Most women were highly satisfied with receiving an aCTG in primary midwife-led care (77.4...
This study shows that pregnant women are satisfied with having an aCTG in midwife-led care. Providing aCTG in midwife-led care can increase access to continuity of care....
Clinical practice guidelines on intrapartum cardiotocography (CTG) interpretation provide structured tools to detect fetal hypoxia. Despite frequent use of different guidelines, little is known about ...
To compare existing intrapartum CTG interpretation guidelines....
We searched PubMed, CINAHL, Cochrane, Embase, guideline databases and websites of guideline development institutions using terms 'cardiotocography', 'electronic fetal/foetal monitoring', and 'guidelin...
Nineteen studies were considered for full review, and 13 met inclusion criteria. Two reviewers independently assessed guideline quality using the AGREE II instrument, and synthesised consensus and non...
There are significant differences between key intrapartum CTG interpretation guidelines currently being used. Greater consistency is needed across CTG interpretation guidelines to improve the quality ...
In many countries, the healthcare sector is dealing with important challenges such as increased demand for healthcare services, capacity problems in hospitals and rising healthcare costs. Therefore, o...
A budget impact analysis was conducted to estimate the actual costs and reimbursement of aCTG performed in midwife-led care and obstetrician-led care (ie, base-case analysis) from the Dutch healthcare...
Shifting aCTG from obstetrician-led care to midwife-led-care would increase actual costs with €311 763 (97.5% CI €188 574 to €426 072) and €1 247 052 (97.5% CI €754 296 to €1 704 290) for implementati...
From the Dutch healthcare perspective, we estimated that implementing aCTG in midwife-led care may increase the associated actual costs. At the same time, it might lower the healthcare reimbursement....
To compare diagnostic values of four intrapartum cardiotocography (CTG) classifications in predicting neonatal acidemia at birth....
Retrospective case-control study. Forty-three CTG traces with an umbilical artery pH < 7.00 (study group) and 43 traces with a pH ≥ 7.00 (control group) were analyzed. Inclusion criteria were singleto...
FIGO, RCOG, and NICHD classifications predicted neonatal acidemia with areas under the ROC curves (AUC) of 0.73, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.63-0.84; 0.72, 95% CI 0.60-0.83; and 0.69, 95% CI 0.57-0...
The 5-tier classification system proposed by Parer and Ikeda for assessing CTG in labour was superior to FIGO, RCOG, and NICHD intrapartum CTG classifications in predicting severe neonatal acidemia at...
New guidelines for the interpretation of cardiotocography (CTG) have been presented by FIGO in 2015 (FIGO-15) and by NICE in 2017 (NICE-17) and 2022 (NICE-22) In Sweden, a previous template from 2009 ...
This is a historical cohort study including singleton births in Lund November 2015-February 2016, after spontaneous or induced labor at ≥34 completed gestational weeks with validated umbilical cord ac...
SWE-09 and NICE-22 had significantly higher sensitivity (both 92%; 95% CI 79-98%) than NICE-17 (68%; 51-82%), FIGO-15 (42%; 26-59%) and SWE-17 (39%; 24-57%) to identify neonates with acidemia by the c...
Current CTG interpretation templates either have low sensitivity to identify fetal acidemia or low specificity. Among current guidelines, NICE 2022 had the highest sensitivity to identify neonates wit...
Admission cardiotocography (CTG), a noninvasive procedure, is used to indicate the state of oxygenation of the fetus on admission into the labor ward....
This study assessed the association of admission CTG findings with neonatal outcome at a tertiary health facility....
A prospective, observational study of 206 pregnant women who were admitted into the labor ward with singleton live pregnancies. Information on the demographic characteristics, obstetrics and medical h...
The admission CTG findings were normal in 73.3%, suspicious in 13.6%, and pathological in 13.1% of the women. The occurrence of low birth weight, special care baby unit (SCBU) admission, asphyxiated n...
Admission CTG was effective in identifying fetuses with a higher incidence of perinatal asphyxia. Neonatal outcome such as low birth weight, APGAR score, SCBU admission, and prolonged hospital admissi...
This study uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and cardiotocography data for the real-time classification of fetal status in the mobile application of a pregnant woman and the computer server of...
Intelligent cardiotocography (CTG) classification can assist obstetricians in evaluating fetal health. However, high classification performance is often achieved by complex machine learning (ML)-based...
Aiming to improve CTG classification performance and prediction interpretability, a hybrid model was proposed using a stacked ensemble strategy with mixed features and Kernel SHapley Additive exPlanat...
For intelligent CTG classification using 10-fold cross-validation, the accuracy and average F1 score were 0.9539 and 0.9249 in the public dataset, respectively; and those were 0.9201 and 0.8926 in the...
