Figure 5. Fetal heart monitoring patterns and early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) Panel A.

Figure 5

FHR baseline levels of fetuses diagnosed with EONS in the immediate postnatal period (<3 days after birth) (Yes, n=26) versus those without or EONS (No, n=60). The ends of the boxes define the 25th and 75th percentiles, the line inside the box defines the median and the whiskers show the largest and smallest values. Statistical comparisons: Mann-Whitney tests Panel B: Percent of fetuses with non-reactive FHR monitoring patterns (hashed bars) in the group of fetuses diagnosed postnatally with EONS (Yes) versus those without EONS (No). Panel C: Percent of fetuses with non-reassuring FHR monitoring patterns (hashed bars) in the group of fetuses diagnosed postnatally with EONS (Yes) versus those without EONS (No). Statistical comparisons: Fisher’s exact or Chi square tests. IEV (initial evaluation), AEV (amniocentesis evaluation) and DEV (delivery evaluation) represent the times when the strips were scored.
