Tóm tắt

The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Centre of Research Excellence in Stillbirth and the Perinatal Society of Australia and New Zealand (PSANZ) have recently partnered in updating an important clinical practice guideline, Care of pregnant women with decreased fetal movements. This guideline offers 12 recommendations and a suggested care pathway, with the aim to improve the quality of care for women reporting decreased fetal movements through an evidence‐based approach. Adoption of the guideline by clinicians and maternity hospitals could result in earlier identification of higher‐risk pregnancies, improved perinatal health outcomes for women and their babies, and reduced stillbirth rates.
