In a recent study published in The Lancet, researchers have developed a new prognostic model to predict the risk of severe fetal compromise at birth during labor. This innovative model combines clinical risk factors with the first 20 minutes of fetal monitoring, known as cardiotocography (CTG). The study included data from singleton births at 36 weeks or more of gestation who underwent CTG monitoring, both spontaneous and induced labor.
The researchers developed the model using a large database, then trained and tested it on another dataset, and externally validated it on a third dataset. The model incorporated factors such as maternal age, gestational age, nulliparity, preeclampsia, diabetes during pregnancy, and the presence of thick meconium in the amniotic fluid.
