title: Low dimensional manifold embedding for scattering coefficients of intrapartum fetale heart rate variability.
abstract: Intrapartum fetal surveillance for early detection of fetal acidosis in clinical practice focuses on reducing neonatal morbidity via early detection. It is the subject of on going research studies attempting notably to improve detection performance by reducing false positive rate. In that context, the present contribution tailors to fetal heart rate variability analysis a graph-based dimensionality reduction procedure performed on scattering coefficients. Applied to a high quality and well-documented database constituted by obstetricians from a French academic hospital, the low dimensional embedding enables to distinguish between the temporal dynamics of healthy and acidotic fetuses, as well as to achieve satisfactory detection performance detection compared to those obtained by the clinical-benchmark FIGO criteria.
