Using this novel physiology-based CTG classification, we demonstrate an association between types of hypoxia observed on the CTG and MRI patterns of hypoxic brain injury. Infants with CTG trace suggestive of chronic hypoxia or other antenatal injuries were overrepresented in this cohort and were also more likely to have a poor neurodevelopmental outcome.
