A total of 1996 [human] fetal heart rate (FHR) tracings were analyzed to assess the prognostic significance of variable decelerations. Of 988 tracings with variable decelerations in the last 30 min of monitored labor, 19% (186 cases) exhibited signs of atypia, listed in order of frequency: loss of initial acceleration; slow return to the baseline FHR; loss of secondary acceleration; prolonged secondary acceleration; biphasic deceleration; loss of variability during deceleration; and continuation of the baseline at a lower level. Variable decelerations with .gtoreq. 1 of these features were called atypical variable decelerations and predicted a high incidence of fetal acidosis and low Apgar scores. Adverse fetal outcome was uncommon with pure variable decelerations (P < < 0.001) irrespective of the duration and amplitude of the deceleration. Pure and atypical variable decelerations were associated with other FHR abnormalities in > 60% of the cases. The particularly unfavorable combination with decreased FHR variability and tachycardia or bradycardia was seen more frequently with atypical than with pure variable decelerations (P < < 0.001) and predicted the highest incidence of low Apgar scores. Atypical features aid greatly in the identification of distress in fetuses with variable decelerations.
