This study is aimed at evaluation of the capability to indicate the preterm delivery risk analysing the features extracted from signals of electrical uterine activity. Free access database was used with signals acquired in two groups of pregnant women who delivered at term and preterm. Signal features comprised classical time domain and spectral parameters of contractile activity, as well as the sample entropy. Their mean values were calculated over all contraction episodes detected in each record and their statistical significance for separating the two groups of recordings was provided. Influence of electrodes location, band-pass filter settings and gestation week was investigated. The obtained results showed that a spectral parameter – the median frequency was the most promising indicator of the preterm delivery risk.
