Abstract
Summary: The relationship between the continuous fetal heart rate pattern in the first stage of labour and the one‐minute Apgar score of the newborn was examined in 714 patients. The highest incidence of fetal depression (one‐minute Apgar score less than 7) was observed with the late deceleration pattern and with variable deceleration associated with an abnormal baseline. Variable deceleration with a normal baseline and loss of beat‐to‐beat variation, both complicated and uncomplicated, were associated with infants with a low Apgar score to a greater degree than were the other patterns.Keywords
