The article Evelyn referred to is:

Phelan, J.P., Labor admission test. Clinics in Perinatology 21(4):879-85, December '94.

This is an instructive article, not a trial, and deals with women in labor, not those admitted to the labor ward but not in labor. You might be interested in Lisa Paine's research on a lower tech antepartum test called the auscultated acceleration test which showed promise as a better predictor of poor perinatal outcomes than the NST. Here's its citation:

Paine, L.L., Benedict, M.I., Strobino, D.M., Gegor, C.L., Larson, E.L. A comparison of the auscultated acceleration test and the nonstress test as predictors of perinatal outcomes. Nursing Research, Mar/Apr. '92, 41(2): 87-91.

Please let me know if you come up with anything else. I'm working on a literature review of fetal distress and would be interested to see what you come up with.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
