Factors predicting adverse perinatal outcomes in women presenting with decreased fetal movements

This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (prognosis). The objectives are as follows: Primary objective To identify prognostic factors that predict adverse perinatal outcomes in pregnant women at or beyond 24 weeks' gestation presenting with decreased fetal movements (DFM). Secondary objective To determine the predictive value of DFM prognostic factors in different patients (primiparous versus multiparous; ethnic groups; gestational age and maternal age groups), settings (low- and middle-income versus high-income countries; rural versus urban), and presentations (first versus repeat presentations with DFM; DFM duration).
