Using machine learning to assess the predictive capabilities of fetal cardiotocography with reference to the time of the measurement relative to time of birth

Abstract—Background: cardiotocography (CTG) has long been used in clinical decision making to help assess the fetus’ condition during pregnancy. However it’s usefulness in the detection of fetal acidosis is debated due to high inter and intraobserver variability and general difficulty in interpreting the signals. The introduction of automatic...
