Correlation of Amniotic Fluid Index with Perinatal Outcome
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the predictive value of amniotic fluid index (AFI) (<%) for adverse perinatal outcome in terms of cesarean section for fetal distress, birth, weight, meconium staining. Apgar scores, and cord pH at birth. Methods: This was a prospective study 200 antenatal women book at Darbhanga Medical College & Hospital during the year January 2012 to January 2013 with gestational age between 34 and 41 weeks. The women’s history, clinical examination recorded, and AFI were measured and the perinatal outcome was compared between two groups i.e. AFI < 5 and > 5. Results: The cesarean section rate for fetal distress and low birth weight babies, <2.5 Kg., was higher in patients with oligohydramnios (p = 0.048, 0.001 respectively). There was no significant difference in meconium staining, Apgar score at 5 minute < 7, and cord pH at birth between the two groups (p = 0.881, 0.884, 0.764 respectively). Conclusions: Oligohydramnios has a significant correlation with cesarean section for fetal distress and low birth weight babies.
