| Abstract | Background We developed an open-source software for the computerized analysis of antenatal fetal cardiotocography (CTG) without limitation of duration of the registration, enabling batch processing and adaptation to any digital storage system. Methods STVcalc was developed based on literature about the FetalCare system (Huntleigh Healthcare Ltd, Cardiff, UK). For comparison with FetalCare, we selected the CTGs of all women who delivered in 2011 a small-for-gestational-age (SGA) fetus between 24 and 31 weeks by cesarean section (CS) for fetal distress, or had fetal death, before labor onset. Results In 471 CTGs from 39 women, the agreement was 99% for a short-term variation (STV) cut-off of 2.6 ms below 29 weeks and 3.0 ms thereafter, and 95% for 3.5 and 4.0 ms, respectively. In 18 (4%) cases, the proportional difference in STV between FetalCare and STVcalc was more than 10%. Conclusion As only slight differences were observed between the proposed feature-rich application and the FetalCare system, it can be considered valuable for clinical practice and research purposes. |
