In each patient, two videoclips of 10\u2009s each were acquired transperineally, one in the axial and one in the sagittal plane, between rest and the acme of an expulsive effort, in order to measure HPD and AoP, respectively. The videoclips were processed offline and the difference between the acme of the pushing effort and rest in HPD (delta\u2010HPD) and AoP (delta\u2010AoP) was calculated, first manually by an experienced sonographer and then using a new automatic technique. The reliability of the automatic algorithm was evaluated by comparing the automatic measurements with those obtained manually, which was considered as the reference gold standard.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, 27 women were included. A significant correlation was observed between the measurements obtained by the automatic and the manual methods for both delta\u2010HPD (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC)\u2009=\u20090.97) and delta\u2010AoP (ICC\u2009=\u20090.99). The high accuracy provided by the automatic algorithm was confirmed by the high values of the coefficient of determination (<jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\u2009=\u20090.98 for both delta\u2010HPD and delta\u2010AoP) and the low residual errors (root mean square error\u2009=\u20091.2\u2009mm for delta\u2010HPD and 1.5\u00b0 for delta\u2010AoP). A Bland\u2013Altman analysis showed a mean difference of 0.52\u2009mm (limits of agreement, \u22121.58 to 2.62\u2009mm) for delta\u2010HPD (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.034) and 0.35\u00b0 (limits of agreement, \u22122.54 to 3.09\u00b0) for delta\u2010AoP (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.39) between the manual and automatic measurements.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The automatic assessment of delta\u2010AoP and delta\u2010HPD during maternal pushing efforts is feasible. The automatic measurement of delta\u2010AoP appears to be reliable when compared with the gold standard manual measurement by an experienced operator. Copyright \u00a9 2020 ISUOG.
