Correlation Of Borderline Oligohydramnios With Perinatal Outcome In Post Dates Pregnancy.

Dr Aiman Abbasi

Abstract :

Objective(s): This study is aimed to evaluate the predictive value of amniotic fluid index (AFI) (8) for adverse perinatal outcome in terms of ceasarean section, meconium staining, Apgar scores,and birth weights in Post dates pregnancies induced for labor. Method(s): This was a hospital based cross sectional study done on 160 antenatal women at B.P.Koirala institute of medical sciences from 2015 to 2016 the with gestational age more than 40weeks. The women’s history, clinical examination recorded, and AFI were measured, induction of labor was done with vaginal misoprostol tablets and the perinatal outcome was compared between two groups, i.e., AFI 8 and >8. Result(s): The rate meconium staining of liquor, Apgar score at 1and 5 min <7 and need for admission in neonatal intensive care unit between the two groups was higher in patients with borderline oligohydramnios.( p=0.009,0.001,0.001 ) There was no significant difference in mode of delivery, duration of labor and mean birth weight. (p = 0.161, 0.334, 0.187, respectively). Conclusion: Borderline Oligohydramnios has a significant correlation with meconium staining, low Apgar scores, and neonatal ICU admissions in Post dates pregnancies.
