Traces with > 30% of their signal information missing or with incomplete Dawes-Redman analyses were excluded. Only traces performed within 48 h prior to delivery were considered. A cohort of pregnancies with subsequent normal pregnancy outcome (NPO) was established using rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria. Another cohort of pregnancies with adverse pregnancy outcome (APO) was developed if the neonate experienced at least one of seven APOs after delivery. Propensity score matching (PSM) facilitated a balanced comparison between NPO and APO cohorts using six factors: gestational age at FHR monitoring, fetal sex, maternal body mass index at presentation, maternal age at delivery, parity and time interval between FHR trace and delivery. FHR traces were categorized as either 'criteria met' (indicating fetal wellbeing) or 'criteria not met' (indicating a need for further evaluation) according to the Dawes-Redman algorithm, which informed the evaluation of predictive performance metrics. Performance was assessed using accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value (NPV) adjusted for various population risk prevalences of APO.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A balanced dataset of 3316 antepartum FHR traces was developed with PSM (standardized mean difference < 0.10). The Dawes-Redman algorithm showed a high specificity of 90.7% (95% CI, 89.2-92.0%) for ruling out APO. Sensitivity was 18.2% (95% CI, 16.3-20.0%). The NPV varied with the population prevalence of APO and was high in very-low-risk settings (NPV, 99.1% (95% CI, 98.9-99.3%) at 1% APO prevalence) and decreased with increasing risk of APO (NPV, 72.1% (95% CI, 67.7-76.1%) at 30% APO prevalence). Temporal proximity of FHR assessment to delivery indicated robust specificity, which was similar for assessments performed at 0-24 h and 24-48 h prior to delivery (specificity at 0-24 h, 90.8% (95% CI, 88.8-92.7%); specificity at 24-48 h, 90.3% (95% CI, 88.2-92.3%); P = 0.898). Across the different adverse outcomes comprising the APO cohort, the performance of the Dawes-Redman algorithm remained consistent, with high specificity (ranging from 87.7% to 94.7%) and NPVs (ranging from 95.4% to 96.0%), confirming its utility in identifying fetal wellbeing.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>These findings indicate that the Dawes-Redman algorithm is effective for its intended purpose: identifying a state of fetal wellb","PeriodicalId":23454,"journal":{"name":"Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology","volume":"65 2","pages":"191-197"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11788457/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143081178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
