Background: There has been a growing concern regarding research waste and the mismatch between conducted research and the research needs of knowledge users. The Needs Led Research (NLR) approach is proposed as an effective method to ensure that research address actual evidence gaps that are relevant to the users of the knowledge. By search and reviewing literature and involving knowledge users, NLR aims to identify, verify, and prioritize research needs.

- The study examines fetal monitoring methods during births in Norway from 2019-2020, aiming to evaluate adherence to national guidelines and variations based on women’s risk statuses.
- Data was collected from a nationwide registry for pregnancies over 22 weeks, analyzing monitoring methods and factors affecting their use, particularly focusing on low-risk births.
