Electrohysterogram
(EHG) signals have emerged as a valuable tool for analyzing uterine activity
and predicting pregnancy outcomes. This study investigates key statistical
features extracted from EHG signals and examines their significance in
differentiating pregnancy cases. A comprehensive statistical analysis,
including analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's post-hoc test, was conducted
on twelve extracted features. Results indicate that six features—standard
deviation, root mean square (RMS), entropy, spectral entropy, Higuchi fractal
dimension (HFD), and approximate entropy (ApEn)—exhibited significant
differences among the cases. These findings highlight the potential of these
features in distinguishing pregnancy conditions and improving predictive models
for preterm birth risk.
