Abstract (EN): Aims: To compare between computer analysis of intrapartum cardiotocography (CTG) features by the Omniview-SisPorto (R) 3.5 and a consensus of clinicians. Methods: Agreement study using 50 consecutively acquired tracings (206 h of signals) with >60 min duration, <10% signal loss and recorded in labor at term by internal fetal heart rate (FHR) monitoring. Tracings were divided into 10 min segments and independently analyzed by three experienced clinicians, in order to estimate the FHR baseline and identify periodic events. A consensus was reached using a three round Delphi procedure. Results were compared with the analysis provided by the Omniview-SisPorto (R) 3.5 system. Results: For baseline estimation, agreement between the computer and the consensus was high [intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)=0.85; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.46-0.93], with a mean difference of 3.7 bpm ( limits of agreement -4.4-11.9 bpm), and 99% of differences under 15 bpm. A concordant identification was observed in 71% of accelerations ( 95% CI: 69%-73%), 68% of decelerations (95% CI: 66%-70%), and 87% of uterine contractions (95% CI: 85%-89%). Conclusions: A high agreement was observed between the Omniview-SisPorto (R) 3.5 and a consensus of clinicians in evaluation of intrapartum CTG baseline, accelerations, decelerations and uterine contractions.
