(BJOG. 2019;126:114–121) To identify which deliveries might be at greater risk of intrapartum fetal compromise and therefore may benefit from continuous cardiotocography (cCTG) during labor, either intermittent auscultation (IA) or admission cardiotocography (ACTG) is performed on women upon admission with possible labor onset. Current guidelines are based on studies evaluating the effects of ACTG on women in diagnosed labor, rather than those with signs and symptoms of possible labor onset. This study aimed to compare ACTG with IA in terms of cesarean section, obstetric intervention, and neonatal morbidity in a low-risk population of healthy pregnant women presenting for possible labor onset, before confirmation of labor.
