The proposed dataset provides annotations for the 552 cardiotocographic (CTG) recordings included in the publicly available "CTU-CHB intra-partum CTG database" from Physionet (https://physionet.org/content/ctu-uhb-ctgdb/1.0.0/). Each CTG recording is composed by two simultaneously acquired signals: i) the fetal heart rate (FHR) and ii) the maternal tocogram (representing uterine activity). Annotations consist in the detection of starting and ending points of specific CTG events on both FHR signal and maternal tocogram. Annotated events for the FHR signal are the bradycardia, tachycardia, acceleration and deceleration episodes. Annotated events for the maternal tocogram are the uterine contractions. The dataset also reports classification of each deceleration as early, late, variable or prolonged, in relation to the presence of a uterine contraction. Annotations were obtained by an expert gynecologist with the support of CTG Analyzer, a dedicated software application for automatic analysis of digital CTG recordings. These annotations can be useful in the development, testing and comparison of algorithms for the automatic analysis of digital CTG recordings, which can make CTG interpretation more objective and independent from clinician's experience.
所提出的数据集为公开可用的Physionet“CTU-CHB产时CTG数据库”(https://physionet.org/content/ctu-uhb-ctgdb/1.0.0/)中包含的552份胎心监护(CTG)记录提供注释。每份CTG记录由两个同时采集的信号组成:i)胎儿心率(FHR)和ii)母亲宫缩图(代表子宫活动)。注释包括在FHR信号和母亲宫缩图上检测特定CTG事件的起始和结束点。FHR信号的注释事件为心动过缓、心动过速、加速和减速发作。母亲宫缩图的注释事件为子宫收缩。该数据集还根据子宫收缩的情况报告每个减速的分类,即早期、晚期、变异型或延长型。注释由一位专家妇科医生在CTG Analyzer(一款用于数字CTG记录自动分析的专用软件应用程序)的支持下获得。这些注释可用于数字CTG记录自动分析算法的开发、测试和比较,这可以使CTG解释更加客观,且独立于临床医生的经验。
