It is commonly linked to fetal morbidity, particularly severe fetal anemia. Pseudosinusoidal patterns resemble sinusoidal patterns but without adverse fetal outcomes. This study aims to characterise sinusoidal and pseudosinusoidal patterns using spectral analysis. Methods A multicenter study case-control was conducted between January 2012 and February 2023. Maternal characteristics, perinatal data, and CTG parameters through spectral analysis were examined. The spectrum of the electrocardiographic signal was calculated, and the proportion of energy (PE), short- and long-term variability, amplitude, and the differences between sinusoidal, pseudosinusoidal, and control groups were compared. A predictive model for signal type was built using a classification tree. Results 60 CTG records were collected, including 38 controls. Of the 13 sinusoidal patterns detected, all exhibited a sinusoidal pattern with a PE ratio > 0.3, 9 of them (69 %) had a PE ratio > 0.5, and 4 (31 %) were in the range of 0.3–0.5. Among the 9 cases diagnosed as pseudosinusoidal, all had a sinusoidal pattern with a PE within the range of 0.3–0.5. Every control exhibited a PE < 0.3, except for one case. Short-term variability demonstrated limited discriminatory capability, while long-term variability showed a strong discriminatory capacity. For the classification tree, accuracy diagnosis was 92.3 %, 88.8 %, and 97.3 % for the sinusoidal, pseudosinusoidal, and control groups, respectively. Conclusion Computerised spectral analysis and the variable PE within the frequency range of 1.8–3.5 are reliable parameters to discriminate sinusoidal patterns. 000132476 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/T69-23R 000132476 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 000132476 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000132476 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-9496-9714$$aLaliena Bielsa, Antonio 000132476 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-7995-6969$$aEsteban-Escaño, Javier 000132476 700__ $$aCalvo Torres, Javier 000132476 700__ $$aChóliz Ezquerro, Marta 000132476 700__ $$aCastán Larraz, Berta 000132476 700__ $$aDíaz de Terán Martínez-Berganza, Elisa 000132476 700__ $$aRodríguez Castaño, María José 000132476 700__ $$aÁlvaro Navidad, Miguel 000132476 700__ $$aAndeyro García, Mercedes 000132476 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0001-9372-4267$$aWhyte Orozco, Jaime$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000132476 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-9048-121X$$aCastán Mateo, Sergio$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000132476 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-3007-302X$$aEsteban, Luis Mariano 000132476 7102_ $$11003$$2027$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
