Icelandic 16-electrode Electrohysterogram Database

Preterm birth is a major health problem and the main cause of mortality and morbidity in new-borns. Studies on the electrohysterogram (EHG) have shown promising results regarding preterm labour prediction. A sixteen electrode recording system in a 4-by-4 configuration on the abdomen can provide information on the propagation of uterine electrical activity. This database consists of 122 16-electrode EHG recordings performed on 45 pregnant women. The recordings were performed between 2008 and 2010 in Iceland.
