Software for computerised analysis of cardiotocographic traces
A software for automatic CTG analysis which could be a useful clinical tool is shown. The software provides important classical and nonlinear parameters. Simulated and real CTG traces were analysed to test software reliability. The software showed good performance, in fact all simulated events were detected. On real CTG: sensitivity equal to 93%, positive predictive value 82%, accuracy 77%.
