Velocity and directionality of the electrohysterographic signal propagation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
OBJECTIVE: The initiation of treatment for women with threatening preterm labor requires effective distinction between true and false labor. The electrohysterogram (EHG) has shown great promise in estimating and classifying uterine activity. However, key

Enhancing care strategies for preterm pregnancies by using a prediction machine to aid clinical care decisions

Machine Learning with Applications, 2021
Preterm births are one of the main causes of death in children under the age of 5; they carry financial implications to the economy and cause exceptional psychological distress to mothers and their families. Prior work has been done in the application of

Characterization of Uterine Response to Misoprostol based on Electrohysterogram

Proceedings of the 10th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies, 2017
When the maternal and fetal risks of prolonging gestation are higher than the benefits, labor induction is performed in order to stimulate uterine contractions and to facilitate cervical ripening. Nevertheless, not all cases end up in successful induction leading to an increase in the rate of caesarean sections.

Automated electrohysterographic detection of uterine contractions for monitoring of pregnancy: feasibility and prospects

BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2018
Background Preterm birth is a major public health problem in developed countries. In this context, we have conducted research into outpatient monitoring of uterine electrical activity in women at risk of preterm delivery.

Design and Assessment of a Robust and Generalizable ANN‐Based Classifier for the Prediction of Premature Birth by means of Multichannel Electrohysterographic Records

Journal of Sensors, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Preterm labor is one of the major causes of neonatal deaths and also the cause of significant health and development impairments in those who survive. However, there are still no reliable and accurate tools for preterm labor prediction in clinical settings.

Automated conduction velocity analysis in the electrohysterogram for prediction of imminent delivery : a preliminary study [PDF]

, 2013
Background. Analysis of the electrohysterogram (EHG) is a promising diagnostic tool for preterm delivery. For the introduction in the clinical practice, analysis of the EHG should be reliable and automated to guarantee reproducibility.

Monitoring Fetal Heart Rate during Labor: A Comparison of Three Methods

Journal of Pregnancy, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
The purpose of the study was to compare the accuracy of a noninvasive fetal heart rate monitor with that of ultrasound, using a fetal scalp electrode as the gold standard, in laboring women of varying body habitus, throughout labor and delivery. Laboring women requiring fetal scalp electrode were monitored simultaneously with the investigational device
