[Study of fetal heart rate abnormalities observed on cardiotocography in Lubumbashi: about a cases followed at the Lubumbashi University Clinic and the General Hospital of the Cinquantenaire].

Cardiotocography (CTG) has recently come into use in Lubumbashi but no thorough study has yet been conducted to identify its impact on perinatal morbi-mortality. This study aims to determine the frequency of fetal heart rate abnormalities (FHR)in order to identify the associated factors and to propose a suitable management. We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive study of 411 women in labour over a period of 19 months (March 2015-December 2016).
