Abstract
At present, units designed to diagnose the state of the foetus during labour base their decisions on relatively short segments of the monitored foetal heart rate and uterine pressure signals. This article describes a new method which takes a sequence of such local diagnoses of individual contractions, extracts the most relevant pathological features and predicts the neuro-physiological performance of the child at birth.
