## Objective: To compare the interpretation of fetal heart rate (fhr) tracings by three obstetricians with that of a computer analysis program. ## Methods: Our study population consisted of high-risk pregnant women referred as outpatients for antepartum fhr monitoring. a total of 121 fhr tracings
We tested the hypotheses that fetal heart rate decelerations are present during the third trimester in most low risk pregnant women, the prevalence of decelerations is a function of the length of time fetal heart rate monitoring occurs and their presence is not associated with an adverse prognosis.
We tested the accuracy of a mathematical model based on computer analysis of the fetal heart rate tracing in predicting umbilical artery pH at birth.
