Recurrence quantification analysis of uterine vectormyometriogram reveals differences between normal weight and overweight parturient women.

The study demonstrates that RQA of VMG signals and EHG directionality differentiate uterine activity between NW and OW women during the first stage of labor. These findings suggest that the uterine vector may become more periodic, predictable, and stable in normal-weight women compared to overweight women. This highlights the importance of tailored clinical strategies for managing labor in overweight women to improve maternal and infant outcomes. &#xD.
