Computerized Cardiotocography and Fetal Heart Response to Maternal Coffee Intake: A Prospective Study

The study includes pregnant women referred for foetal antepartum computerized cardiotocography (cCTG) monitoring as outpatients. Pregnant women were divided into two groups based on their coffee intake: the coffee group and the control group. Each pregnant woman had cCTG. Two doctors assessed and recorded the amount of coffee taken by pregnant women before the CTG.
