Comparison of visual and computerised antenatal cardiotocography in the prevention of perinatal morbidity and mortality. A systematic review and meta-analysis
European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology Jun 08, 2021
Baker H, Pilarski N, Hodgetts VA, et al. - Two methods—visual (vCTG) or computerised (cCTG) Antenatal cardiotocography (CTG)—are used to monitor fetal well-being. Researchers conducted this systematic review with the aim to update an earlier Cochrane review comparing the effects of both approaches on maternal and fetal outcomes. In addition, they sought for studies not included in the Cochrane review. Searching MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and MIDIRS databases up to February 2021, they identified three RCTs and three NRS for inclusion. Outcomes revealed a non-significant reduction in perinatal mortality with cCTG. Although cCTG was not linked with clear reduction in perinatal mortality and morbidity, it is objective and may decrease time spent in hospital and further investigations for women.
