Fetal death is defined as the spontaneous cessation of cardiac activity after 14 weeks gestational age (GA). Regarding prevention of fetal death in the general population, it is not recommended to counsel or prescribe rest, aspirin, vitamin A, vitamin D, or micronutrient supplementation; systematically look for nuchal cord during prenatal screening ultrasound; or perform systematic antepartum monitoring by cardiotocography for the sole purpose of reducing the risk of fetal death. It is recommended to offer vaccination against influenza in epidemic periods and against SARS-CoV-2.

Introduction: Intraamniotic infection (IAI) is one of the main possible complications of preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) and can lead to severe consequences for the neonate, such as early onset neonatal sepsis (EONS). Available diagnostic tools for IAI have poor diagnostic performance, which may result in both over- and underdiagnoses of IAI. In a search for better diagnostic tools, we have examined short-term variation (STV) in fetal heart rate.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of caffeine on fetal heart rate (FHR) as determined by computerized cardiotocography (cCTG) parameters.
Methods: Term pregnancies that performed a fetal antepartum cCTG were included. Two physicians recorded coffee habits before the cCTG, and pregnant women were divided into two groups: the coffee group and the control group.
