OP31.06: Influence of gestational diabetes on fetal autonomic nervous system

Phase-rectified signal averaging (PRSA), an innovative signal processing technique, can be used to investigate quasi-periodic oscillations in noisy, non-stationary signals obtained from fetal heart rate. The PRSA calculated indices “average acceleration capacity” (AAC) and “average deceleration capacity” (ADC) reflect autonomic nervous system capacity. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of gestational diabetes (GDM) on fetal...
