In a recent study 34 patients at high risk for preterm delivery who received uterine activity monitoring were compared with 33 similar patients who attempted to detect contractions by palpation. The incidence of preterm delivery was significantly reduced among those using the uterine activity detection device, although all patients in both groups had the same prenatal care and educational intervention. When short-term neonatal morbidity associated with preterm delivery was compared between the two groups, adverse effects decreased significantly among those in the monitored group (p = 0.001). The majority of short-term morbidity in both groups was noted in those delivering preterm and thus was gestational age related. No significant difference was found in neonatal morbidity between the groups when the infants were delivered at less than 37 weeks' gestation. Uterine activity monitoring, which is effective in preventing preterm birth, is also efficacious in decreasing short-term neonatal morbidity.
在最近的一项研究中，对34名接受子宫活动监测的早产高危患者与33名试图通过触诊检测宫缩的类似患者进行了比较。尽管两组所有患者都接受了相同的产前护理和教育干预，但使用子宫活动检测装置的患者早产发生率显著降低。当比较两组与早产相关的短期新生儿发病率时，监测组的不良影响显著降低（p = 0.001）。两组中的大多数短期发病率都出现在早产患者中，因此与孕周有关。当婴儿在妊娠不足37周时分娩，两组之间的新生儿发病率没有显著差异。子宫活动监测在预防早产方面有效，在降低短期新生儿发病率方面也有效。
