Several studies have shown that abnormal intrapartum fetal heart rate patterns are the results from pre-existing fetal brain damage. We evaluated intrapartum fetal heart rate pattern of cytomegalovirus-infected fetuses and correlated the patterns with neurologic outcomes. Between 1991 and 2001, ther...
