Correlation of short-term variation derived from novel ambulatory fetal electrocardiography monitor with computerized cardiotocography.

The causes of STV discrepancy mandate the need for signal filtering, exclusion of poor-quality traces and eSTV correction. With such correction, the data demonstrate the device's ability to produce eSTV values highly correlated to the cCTG cSTV readings. This evidence-base for NIFECG monitoring and interpretation is a promising step forward in the development of safe and effective home FHR monitoring. This article is protected by copyright.
