Fetal Movement Counting Using Optical Fibre Sensors (2020)
Journal Article
Abeywardena, C. L., Vanheusden, F. J., Walker, K. F., Arm, R., & Zhang, Q. (2021). Fetal Movement Counting Using Optical Fibre Sensors. Sensors, 21(1), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.3390/s21010048

Daily fetal movement counting based on maternal perception is widely deployed to monitor fetal wellbeing. However, the counting performed by the mother is prone to errors for various reasons. There are limited devices on the market that can provide r... Read More about Fetal Movement Counting Using Optical Fibre Sensors.

Suboptimal mid-luteal progesterone concentrations are associated with aberrant endometrial gene expression, potentially resulting in implantation failure (2020)
Journal Article

Research question What is the difference in endometrial transcriptomics between women with normal and with low mid-luteal progesterone during the implantation window? Design An endometrial biopsy and serum progesterone concentration were taken f...

Timing and mode of delivery with advancing maternal age (2020)
Journal Article
Walker, K. F., & Thornton, J. G. (2021). Timing and mode of delivery with advancing maternal age. Best Practice and Research: Clinical Obstetrics and Gynaecology, 70, 101-111. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bpobgyn.2020.06.005

In 2017, 23% of all live births in the United Kingdom were to women aged over 35 years. Decisions around the timing of delivery for such women must balance the risks of prolongation of the pregnancy and of iatrogenic harm from timed delivery. Women o...

The test accuracy of antenatal ultrasound definitions of fetal macrosomia to predict birth injury: a systematic review (2020)
Journal Article
Robinson, R., Walker, K. F., White, V. A., Bugg, G. J., Snell, K. I., & Jones, N. W. (2020). The test accuracy of antenatal ultrasound definitions of fetal macrosomia to predict birth injury: a systematic review. European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive Biology, 246, P79-85. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejogrb.2020.01.019

Objectives To determine which ultrasound measurement for predicted fetal macrosomia most accurately predicts adverse delivery and neonatal outcomes. Study Design Four biomedical databases searched for studies published after 1966. Randomised tr...
