Accuracy of fetal heart‐rate variability interpretation by obstetricians using the criteria of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development compared with computer‐aided interpretation

Aim: To evaluate the accuracy of fetal heart rate variability interpretation by obstetricians using the criteria of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), compared with computer‐aided analysis as a gold standard.
