Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To determine the relationship between maternal perception of sound-provoked fetal movement in the early intrapartum period and perinatal outcome. METHOD: 739 singleton pregnant women of at least 32 weeks gestation who were admitted to the labor ward, underwent the maternal perception of sound-provoked fetal movement test. All were in the latent phase of labor with singleton cephalic presentation. The result of maternal perception of sound-provoked fetal movement was compared with the perinatal outcome using sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value and accuracy. RESULTS: When 739 pregnant women were compared to the perinatal outcome, maternal perception of sound-provoked fetal movement had sensitivity 100%, specificity 98.9%, positive predictive value 15.1%, negative predictive value 100%, and accuracy 90.1%. CONCLUSION: The finding suggested the usefulness of maternal perception of sound-provoked fetal movement as an effective screening test to identify fetuses at risk in the early intrapartum period because of its high sensitivity and specificity. This is a simple and inexpensive test for evaluating fetal well-being in a primary health care setting.
