Dawes and Redman (DR) based their definition of short-term variation (STV) on the successive differences of mean inter-beat intervals dividing 1 min of cardiotocography recordings in 16 epochs of 3.75 s each. In contrast, heart rate variability (HRV) is based on the inter-beat intervals of discrete R peaks, also referred to as normal-to-normal (NN) intervals. Despite the historical achievements of DR in providing a robust method with the equipment available at the time to encourage the widespread use and creation of large databases, one must ask whether the STV (DR) parameter is reproducible using a different method of recording, and how much temporal information is actually lost by applying the averaging algorithm sketched above. We simultaneously performed both standard Oxford cardiotocography and transabdominal fetal electrocardiography recordings in 26 patients with low-risk singletons. In addition, we revisited our database of 418 standard fetal magnetocardiographic recordings, applying the DR algorithm to the fetal NN data and compared them to standard HRV parameters. The correlation between STV (DR) from cardiotocography and fetal electrocardiography was stronger that of either with short term fHRV from NN intervals. The methodological trade-off to gain STV as a robust parameter from heart rate traces of limited temporal resolution is accompanied by a loss of temporal information that, at the moment, only fetal magnetocardiography and, to a lesser extent, fetal electrocardiography may provide.
