In high-risk cases with normal tracings, 85% had no asphyxia. With suspicious tracing, 68.4% had no asphyxia. With ominous tracing, 54.5% had no asphyxia. In short, it is 78.6% sensitive in high-risk cases. In low-risk cases with normal tracing, 97.8% had no asphyxia. With suspicious tracing, 100% had no asphyxia.
