A prospective study of 127 high risk patients who had a non‐stress cardiotocographic test within 7 days of the onset of labour demonstrated a 50% false positive rate in the 14 patients with abnormal tests. The corrected false negative rate in the patients with normal tests within 7 days of labour was 0.9% if stillbirth was chosen as the end‐point assessed, but 10.4% if this end‐point was an indicator of fetal or neonatal morbidity.
