Software for computerised analysis of cardiotocographic traces

Highlights • A software for automatic CTG analysis which could be a useful clinical tool is shown. • The software provides important classical and nonlinear parameters. • Simulated and real CTG traces were analysed to test software reliability. • The software showed good performance, in fact all sim...

More Information
Summary:Highlights • A software for automatic CTG analysis which could be a useful clinical tool is shown. • The software provides important classical and nonlinear parameters. • Simulated and real CTG traces were analysed to test software reliability. • The software showed good performance, in fact all simulated events were detected. • On real CTG: sensitivity equal to 93%, positive predictive value 82%, accuracy 77%.
