Objectives:
Triplet pregnancies have higher perinatal morbidity and mortality rates than singleton pregnancies. In modern perinatology computer cardiotocography is one of the best methods of fetus state assessment.
Design:
The research was based on computer analysis of cardiotocograph printouts.
Materials And Methods:
The studies were made on 39 pregnant women in 27-36 week of gestation. The women were hospitalized in the Clinic of Perinatology I Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Medical University of Lodz and divided into two groups. First consisted of 30 singleton, second of 9 triplet pregnancies.
Results:
Computer analysis of cardiotocograph printouts was performed and compared between the triplet and singleton pregnancy groups and presented in forms of tables.
Conclusions:
In the studded group of triplet pregnancy statistically significant higher number of high episodes, accelerations, fetal movements and signal loss were observed. The Apgar score and arterial cord pH was not different between the both groups.
