Assessment of Parturition with Cervical Light-Induced Fluorescence and Uterine Electromyography

Table 1

Predictive measures of uterine EMG (rescaled sum of power spectrum [PS] peak frequency and propagation velocity) compared with current methods to predict preterm delivery within 7 days [19].

Method	AUC	Best cutoff	Sensitivity	Specificity	PPV	NPV
EMG (PV + PS Peak Frequency)	0.96	84.48	70%	100%	100%	90%
Bishop Score	0.72	10	18%	100%	100%	81%
Transvaginal Cervical Length	0.67	0.7 cm	14%	98%	50%	90%
Contractions on tocogram	0.54	N/A	35%	72%	27%	79%
