Background. Cardiotocography has a poor diagnostic value in detecting fetal acidosis.
Spectral analysis of fetal heart rate variability can be used to monitor the fetal autonomic …

Background There is little evidence to guide the management of women with hypertensive
disorders in late preterm pregnancy. We investigated the effect of immediate delivery versus …

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the effectiveness of intrapartum fetal monitoring by
cardiotocography plus ST analysis using a strict protocol for performance of fetal blood …

OBJECTIVE: To estimate the performance of combining cervical length measurement with
fetal fibronectin testing in predicting delivery in women with symptoms of preterm labor …

Prediction of pulmonary hypoplasia after midtrimester preterm prelabour rupture of
membranes (PPROM) is important for optimal management. We performed a systematic …

Background In women with threatened preterm birth, delay of delivery by 48 h allows
antenatal corticosteroids to improve neonatal outcomes. For this reason, tocolytics are often …

Importance In threatened preterm labor, maintenance tocolysis with nifedipine, after an initial
course of tocolysis and corticosteroids for 48 hours, may improve perinatal outcome …

OBJECTIVE: To estimate whether administration of 17α-hydroxyprogesterone caproate can
prevent neonatal morbidity in multiple pregnancies by reducing the preterm birth rate …

Objective To determine whether maternal allopurinol treatment during suspected fetal
hypoxia would reduce the release of biomarkers associated with neonatal brain damage …

Objective To evaluate whether in symptomatic women, the combination of quantitative fetal
fibronectin (fFN) testing and cervical length (CL) improves the prediction of preterm delivery …
