Extraction of compression indices from maternal-fetal heart rate simultaneous signals.

PLoS One

January 2025

MEDCIDS - Department of Community Medicine, Information and Decision in Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of Porto, Porto, Portugal.

Intrapartum asphyxia is responsible for approximately 900 000 deaths per year worldwide. These numbers show the urgency of investing in the quality of fetal health care. The heart rate signal is a complex signal and sometimes behaves unpredictably.

Aim: In Japan, the fetal heart rate pattern on cardiotocography is usually categorized into five levels for intrapartum management; however, studies on the 5-tier cardiotocography classification are limited. This study aimed to determine the correlation between 5-tier cardiotocography levels at delivery, neonatal Apgar scores and perinatal prognosis using a perinatal registry database.

Methods: This retrospective study used the 2018 Perinatal Registry Database of the Japan Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

A Rare Case of Fetal Neural Tube Defect; Iniencephaly Clausus.

AJP Rep

July 2024

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, Bahir Dar University, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.

 Iniencephaly is an extremely rare type of neural tube defect characterized by the fusion of the cervical and cervicothoracic vertebrae. This condition results in acute retroflexion of the head, a short neck, significant lordosis of the cervical spine, and an upturned facial appearance. This condition typically results in poor fetal outcomes, with many cases ending in stillbirth or neonatal death.

Background: Previous studies demonstrated that placental dysfunction leads to intrapartum fetal distress, particularly when an abnormal pattern of angiogenic markers is demonstrated at 36 weeks of gestation. Prediction of intrapartum fetal compromise is particularly important in patients undergoing induction of labor due to different indications for delivery, as this can be a useful in optimizing the method and timing of the induction.

Objective: To examine whether the risk of preeclampsia assessed by the Fetal Medicine Foundation (FMF) algorithm (derived from a combination of maternal risk factors, mean arterial pressure, placental growth factor and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1), associates with the risk of intrapartum fetal compromise requiring cesarean delivery, in a population of singleton pregnancies undergoing labor induction for various indications.
