With the ACOG guidelines, classification in category I it was less reproducible, while with the other guidelines differences were usually small and not statistically significant.
The ACOG guidelines tended to classify abnormal patterns more in category II, because of more restrictive criteria for category III, and some acidemia cases were classified in category II, hence the tendency for a lower sensitivity and higher specificity of these guidelines.
This study compares the agreement, reliability and accuracy of FIGO, ACOG and NICE guidelines for CTG interpretation and showed that attribution of category II is very frequent with the ACOG guidelines, leading to a high overall interobserver agreement, a low reliability, a low sensitivity and a high specificity of category III tracings in prediction of fetal acidemia.
Yet the lack of a political settlement between the regime and the opposition, and the imminent resurgence of opposition militias, meant that the war could not truly be said to have ended.
