There is moderate agreement in the interpretation of fetal heart rate categories using the NICHD "Three-Tier Fetal Heart Rate Interpretation System". The clinical value (predictive ability) of this new classification should...
Interobserver agreement was assessed using the free-marginal kappa coefficient.Results Reviewers demonstrated substantial to excellent agreement on baseline rate (k = 0.97), moderate variability (k = 0.80), accelerations (k = 0.62), decelerations (k = 0.63), category (k = 0.68), and the ...
