Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Nagpur, IND.
To overcome shortcomings of the paper partograph, enhance care during labor and delivery, improve record keeping, and help decision-making, several countries have focused on adopting low-cost digital applications. This scoping review highlights the usability and current status of the digital partogram in obstetric care. We conducted a thorough search involving the databases ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar for relevant studies from inception till September 2023 by using the keywords "partograph", "electronic", and "obstetric" as well as the Boolean operators "AND" and "OR".

Even today, hundreds of thousands of women die or suffer high levels of morbidity associated with childbirth. One of the most common causes is halted labor progress, or labor dystocia. There have been no developments in the diagnosis or treatment of dystocic deliveries since Friedman designed the Partogram in the 1950s.

Statistical aspects of modeling the labor curve.
Am J Obstet Gynecol

In a recent review by Cohen and Friedman, several statistical questions on modeling labor curves were raised. This article illustrates that asking data to fit a preconceived model or letting a sufficiently flexible model fit observed data is the main difference in principles of statistical modeling between the original Friedman curve and our average labor curve. An evidence-based approach to construct a labor curve and establish normal values should allow the statistical model to fit observed data.

UCL Institute for Global Health, 30 Guilford Street, London WC1N 1EH, UK.
Background: The partograph is a graphic display of the progress of labour, recommended by the World Health Organization, but often underused in practice in low- and middle-income countries. We were interested in going beyond demonstration of potential efficacy - on which the existing literature concentrates - through a systematic review to identify barriers to and incentives for achieving partograph use.
Methods: We searched Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Maternity and Infant Care, POPLINE, Web of Science, and Scopus, from 1st January 1994 to 30th September 2013, using the term 'partogra*' to include 'partograph', 'partogram', or 'partogramme'.
