Fetal Physiology Training Impact on Fetal Heart Rate Analysis, 2017-2018

34 obstetrics and gynecology residents from CHU Lille, France, were evaluated from November 2017 to November 2018. The study by Harmonie Dupuis of Hôpital Jeanne de Flandre assessed a training intervention's impact on theoretical knowledge, fetal heart rate interpretation, and use of second-line examinations. Results showed a significant improvement in MCQ scores and a decrease in fetal scalp blood sampling requests.

Use Cases

• Evaluate medical training program efficacy based on pre- and post-intervention MCQ scores.
• Analyze changes in clinical decision-making based on the reported reduction in fetal scalp blood sampling requests.
• Study the homogenization of clinical practices based on the reported improvement in Krippendorff's alpha index.

Strengths

• Prospective study design with a defined population of 34 residents.
• Specific outcome measures reported, including median MCQ score improvement from 1.5 to 4.0.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and institutional bias inherent to a single-center study.
