INTRODUCTION
1. High-Risk Pregnancy: Definition and Global Burden
Pregnancy is a physiological state that, despite its natural occurrence, carries inherent risks to both mother and fetus. The concept of high-risk pregnancy encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions in which the likelihood of an adverse maternal or fetal outcome is substantially higher than in the general obstetric population.¹ High-risk pregnancies include those complicated by maternal medical disorders such as diabetes mellitus, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (including pre-eclampsia and eclampsia), cardiac disease, renal disease, and thyroid dysfunction, as well as obstetric complications such as intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), placenta praevia, placental abruption, preterm labour, post-term pregnancy, oligohydramnios, and multiple gestations.²
Globally, approximately 15% of all pregnancies are classified as high-risk, yet they account for a disproportionately large share of perinatal morbidity and mortality.³ According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an estimated 2.4 million neonates die in the first month of life annually, and a further 2 million stillbirths occur each year, with the overwhelming majority occurring in low- and middle-income countries.⁴ In India, despite considerable advances in obstetric care and the introduction of national programmes such as Pradhan Mantri Surakshit Matritva Abhiyan (PMSMA), which identified over 11.66 lakh high-risk pregnancies across the country, maternal and perinatal mortality rates remain a significant public health challenge.⁵ The identification and meticulous monitoring of high-risk pregnancies, followed by timely and appropriate obstetric intervention, is therefore an essential component of modern antenatal care.
2. Antepartum Fetal Surveillance
Antepartum fetal surveillance refers to the use of clinical and technological methods to assess fetal well-being in utero, with the primary objective of identifying the compromised fetus before irreversible injury or intrauterine death occurs.⁶ The principal tools of antepartum surveillance include fetal movement counting (FMC), the non-stress test (NST), the contraction stress test (CST), the biophysical profile (BPP), the modified biophysical profile, and Doppler velocimetry of the fetal and uteroplacental circulation.⁷ Among these, cardiotocography (CTG) — which records the fetal heart rate (FHR) continuously alongside uterine contractions — has become the cornerstone of antepartum fetal assessment in high-risk pregnancies worldwide.⁸
The rationale for antepartum fetal surveillance rests upon the understanding that uteroplacental insufficiency, the common pathway of many high-risk conditions, leads to progressive fetal hypoxaemia, acidosis, and ultimately asphyxia.⁹ The fetal heart rate reflects the state of the central and autonomic nervous system, which is exquisitely sensitive to alterations in oxygen delivery. Changes in FHR patterns — including loss of accelerations, presence of decelerations, reduced baseline variability, and alterations in short-term variation (STV) — serve as indirect markers of fetal hypoxic stress.¹⁰ Prompt recognition of these changes enables clinicians to modify management, institute intrauterine resuscitation, or expedite delivery, thereby improving fetomaternal outcomes.
3. Cardiotocography: Principles and Classification
Cardiotocography was introduced into clinical practice in the 1960s and has since become one of the most widely used tests in obstetrics.¹¹ A standard CTG records the FHR via an external ultrasound transducer (Doppler) or, in labour, an internal fetal scalp electrode, alongside uterine activity measured by a tocodynamometer. The primary parameters evaluated on a CTG trace include: (i) baseline fetal heart rate (normal: 110-160 bpm); (ii) baseline variability (normal: 5-25 bpm); (iii) accelerations - transient increases in FHR of ≥15 bpm lasting ≥15 seconds; and (iv) decelerations - transient decreases in FHR, classified as early, variable, late, or prolonged.¹²
Based on these parameters, CTG traces are classified as reassuring (normal), suspicious (non-reassuring), or pathological (abnormal) according to international guidelines including those of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG).¹³ Modern computerised cardiotocography (cCTG) uses automated software algorithms - most notably the Dawes-Redman criteria - to objectively quantify short-term variation in the fetal heart rate, providing a more reproducible and less subjective assessment compared to visual (manual) CTG interpretation.¹⁴
4. Non-Reactive Cardiotocography: Definition and Clinical Significance
A non-reactive CTG (NRCTG) is defined as the absence of at least two accelerations of ≥15 bpm lasting ≥15 seconds within a 20-40 minute recording period, in the context of antepartum testing.¹⁵ In clinical practice, an initial non-reactive tracing of 20 minutes is extended to 40 minutes to account for fetal sleep cycles; traces remaining non-reactive beyond this period are considered truly non-reactive and indicate the need for further evaluation.¹⁶ The non-stress test was introduced as a primary screening tool for uteroplacental insufficiency, and its reactivity is considered a strong indicator of fetal well-being: a reactive NST carries a false-negative rate for fetal death within one week of less than 0.3 per 1000 pregnancies.⁶
A non-reactive CTG may arise from a variety of causes that do not necessarily indicate fetal compromise. Physiological causes include fetal sleep states, fetal immaturity (particularly at gestational ages below 32 weeks), maternal sedative medication, and maternal smoking.¹⁷ However, pathological non-reactivity - in the context of high-risk pregnancies - may reflect genuine fetal hypoxaemia, acidosis, or neurological depression secondary to uteroplacental insufficiency, placental abruption, severe IUGR, cord compression, or fetal anaemia.¹⁸ The clinical challenge lies in distinguishing benign from ominous causes of non-reactivity, and in correlating the CTG findings with the overall clinical context and other surveillance modalities.
The prognostic significance of a non-reactive CTG in high-risk pregnancies has been demonstrated in multiple observational studies. Pregnancies with persistent NRCTG carry a substantially elevated risk of perinatal asphyxia, low Apgar scores, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, meconium-stained liquor, emergency caesarean section, and perinatal death compared to those with reactive traces.¹⁹ Bhide et al. (2024) demonstrated in a large retrospective cohort of over 14,000 antenatal CTG records in high-risk pregnancies that failure to meet the Dawes-Redman criteria was associated with an odds ratio of 8.78 (95% CI 4.28-18.02) for stillbirth, even after excluding those with abnormally low short-term variation.²⁰ This underscores the imperative for expeditious and structured management of NRCTG in high-risk pregnancies.
5. Cardiotocography in High-Risk Pregnancies: Evidence Base
The role of antepartum CTG in modifying perinatal outcomes has been the subject of extensive investigation. A systematic review and meta-analysis by Baker et al. (2021) comparing visual and computerised antenatal CTG in the prevention of perinatal morbidity and mortality found a non-significant reduction in all-cause perinatal mortality (RR 0.23, 95% CI 0.04-1.30) and in preventable perinatal mortality (RR 0.27, 95% CI 0.05-1.56) with computerised CTG relative to visual interpretation.¹⁴ All randomised controlled trials included in this review exclusively enrolled high-risk women, confirming that this population represents the primary target group for intensive CTG surveillance.
High-risk conditions most commonly associated with NRCTG in published literature include hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), IUGR, post-term pregnancy, oligohydramnios, and anaemia.²¹˒²² Each of these conditions compromises the uteroplacental unit through distinct pathophysiological mechanisms. In pre-eclampsia, abnormal placentation and defective trophoblastic invasion lead to reduced uteroplacental blood flow and consequent loss of FHR reactivity. In GDM, chronic hyperglycaemia promotes fetal macrosomia and polycythaemia, increasing oxygen demand and susceptibility to hypoxic stress. In IUGR, progressive placental insufficiency results in redistribution of fetal blood flow, with brain-sparing characterised on Doppler as absent or reversed end-diastolic flow in the umbilical artery, culminating in autonomic dysfunction and loss of FHR accelerations.⁹˒²³
A narrative review by Piron-Dumitrascu et al. (2025) on fetal and maternal surveillance in high-risk pregnancies emphasised that stratification of high-risk pregnancies through systematic surveillance - including CTG - can be followed by a measurable decrease in perinatal mortality through timely obstetric intervention.⁴
6. Fetomaternal Outcomes in High-Risk Pregnancy
The term fetomaternal outcome encompasses the composite of maternal and fetal/neonatal outcomes in a given pregnancy. Maternal outcomes of relevance in high-risk pregnancy include mode of delivery (spontaneous vaginal delivery, instrumental delivery, or caesarean section), postpartum haemorrhage, wound complications, hypertensive crises, eclampsia, ICU admission, and maternal mortality.²⁵ Fetal and neonatal outcomes include gestational age at delivery, birth weight, Apgar scores at 1 and 5 minutes, need for neonatal resuscitation, NICU admission, meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE), neonatal seizures, perinatal asphyxia, stillbirth, and early neonatal death.²⁶
The integration of CTG findings - particularly the detection of non-reactive traces - with overall clinical assessment directly influences obstetric management and therefore shapes fetomaternal outcomes.²⁷ An abnormal or non-reactive CTG in a high-risk pregnancy frequently triggers further evaluation with BPP or Doppler studies, or may prompt emergency delivery by induction of labour or caesarean section.²⁸ The timing and mode of delivery are critical determinants of neonatal outcome: premature intervention risks iatrogenic prematurity, while delayed intervention risks fetal asphyxia, stillbirth, or neonatal encephalopathy.²⁹ Non-reassuring fetal heart rate patterns are among the most common indications for emergency caesarean section globally,³⁰ and meconium-stained amniotic fluid, frequently co-occurring with non-reactive CTG patterns, further compounds the risk of neonatal respiratory morbidity.³²
7. Rationale for the Present Study
Despite the widespread use of CTG in antenatal high-risk clinics, there remains a paucity of robust data - particularly from tertiary care centres in developing countries - characterising the specific fetomaternal outcomes associated with non-reactive CTG in high-risk pregnancies.³³ Furthermore, the relative contributions of individual high-risk conditions to the prevalence and clinical significance of NRCTG remain incompletely characterised in the Indian obstetric setting, where the burden of anaemia, hypertensive disorders, and late-presenting high-risk pregnancies is particularly high.⁵
A thorough understanding of the fetomaternal outcomes associated with NRCTG in high-risk pregnancies is essential for several reasons: it guides the development of institution-specific surveillance protocols; it informs counselling of patients and their families regarding the likelihood of operative delivery and neonatal morbidity; it identifies specific high-risk subgroups that may benefit from earlier or more intensive monitoring; and it contributes to the evidence base for national clinical practice guidelines.³⁴
The present study was therefore designed to prospectively evaluate the fetomaternal outcomes in women with high-risk pregnancies presenting with a non-reactive CTG at a tertiary care institution. The study aims to determine the prevalence of NRCTG among high-risk pregnancies, characterise the maternal and neonatal outcomes, identify the high-risk conditions most strongly associated with NRCTG, and assess the utility of NRCTG as a predictor of adverse fetomaternal outcome.
