Abstract :

Background: To study the maternal and perinatal outcome in oligohydramnios of AFI(amniotic fluid index) ≤ 5 cm at term in low risk pregnancy Methods: A Prospective case control study consists of an analysis of pregnancy outcome in 102 cases with diagnosis of oligohydramnios (≤5) after 37 to 41weeks6days completed is compared with 102 controls with pregnant women AFI>5. Results: There is increased chances of oligohydramnios with primigravida. The selected outcomes showed significant variations in both groups with increase rate of caesarean section, fetal distress, and NICU admission. Conclusions: An amniotic fluid index of ≤ 5 cm detected after 37 completed weeks of gestation is an indicator of maternal and poor perinatal outcome. In method of fetal surveillance determination of AFI can be important.
