Groups were divided based on fetal cord blood pH: pH\u22647.0, 7.0&lt;pH&lt;7.2 and pH\u22657.2.

Nine (2.2%) had cord pH\u22647.0, 105 (25.2%) pH 7.0 to 7.2 and 303 (72.6%) ad pH\u22657.2. Background characteristics, pregnancy follow-up and intrauterine fetal evaluation prior to delivery were similar in all groups. As expected, more patients in the low pH group had cesarean section (55.6%), than vaginal delivery or vacuum extraction (p=0.02). Five-minute Apgar scores were similar in all groups.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2020-0592_abs_004\">\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This retrospective study did not detect a specific parameter that could help predict the prognosis of fetal acidosis and risk of asphyxia. As we only included patients with a Category II tracing that was worrisome enough to lead to imminent delivery, it is reasonable to believe that this is due to patient selection, meaning that when the Category II FHR results in decision for prompt delivery, there is no added value in additional clinical characteristics. The evaluation should be expanded to all patients with Category II tracing for better interpretation tools for Category II FHR monitors, as well as a larger study population.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/jpm-2020-0592","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,10]],"date-time":"2021-06-10T00:07:03Z","timestamp":1623283623000},"page":"1089-1095","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Can we improve our ability to interpret category II fetal heart rate tracings using additional clinical parameters?"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Yael","family":"Yagur","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , Meir Medical Center , Kfar Saba , Israel"},{"name":"Sackler Faculty of Medicine , Tel Aviv University , Tel Aviv , Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Omer","family":"Weitzner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , Meir Medical Center , Kfar Saba , Israel"},{"name":"Sackler Faculty of Medicine , Tel Aviv University , Tel Aviv , Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tal","family":"Biron-Shental","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , Meir Medical Center , Kfar Saba , Israel"},{"name":"Sackler Faculty of Medicine , Tel Aviv University , Tel Aviv , Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tzipi","family":"Hornik-Lurie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Meir Medical Center Institute for Research , Kfar Saba , Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shiran","family":"Bookstein Peretz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sackler Faculty of Medicine , Tel Aviv University , Tel Aviv , Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yehuda","family":"Tzur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sackler Faculty of Medicine , Tel Aviv University , Tel Aviv , Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gil","family":"Shechter Maor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology , Meir Medical Center , Kfar Saba , Israel"},{"name":"Sackler Faculty of Medicine , Tel Aviv University , Tel Aviv , Israel"},{"name":"Meir Medical Center Institute for Research , Kfar Saba , Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023033122435006967_j_jpm-2020-0592_ref_001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ahearne, CE, Boylan, GB, Murray, DM.
