Prelabor short-term variability in fetal heart rate by computerized cardiotocogram and maternal fetal doppler indices for the prediction of labor outcomes

To investigate (i) the association between pre-labor maternal-fetal Dopplers and fetal heart rate short-term variability (FHR STV) with arterial cord blood pH and (ii) the potential value of pre-labor maternal-fetal Dopplers, FHR STV and Dawes-Redman criteria in predicting composite neonatal morbidity at term in a cohort of unselected women.A prospective study in 218 women with term singleton pregnancy in latent phase of labor or due to undergo...
