Abstract
Electrohysterography measures a bioelectrical activity of a uterus. The methods which were published up to date still give inaccurate labour prediction/prediction of labour. This paper presents an application of multivariate sample entropy to differentiated 4-channels electrohysterographical signals. This nonlinear measure uses joint information from a multivariated signals. The obtained results confirm that a differentiation may improve sensitivity of a multivariate sample entropy on a uterine bioelectrical activity. It enables to recognize uterine contractions in labor with the sensitivity equaled too 87% and the specificity about 85%. These results should be verified in a prospective study.
