Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: The aims of our study were to assess the perinatal outcomes associated with polyhydramnios and to determine if there is a relationship between degree of polyhydramnios and risk of these adverse outcomes. Material and methods: The material included 50 patients at or beyond 28 weeks of gestation with AFI≥25 and 50 others with normal AFI. Among case group 34 diagnosed with mild polyhydramnios, 14 with moderate and 2 with severe polyhydramnios. Perinatal outcome were compared between case and control group. Results: we observed that polyhydramnios cases had higher incidence of low apgar scores, congenital anomalies, NICU admissions and perinatal mortality as compared to controls. Antenatal diagnosis of polyhydramnios should be considered as a warning sign. Prompt neonatal resuscitation should be ready at the time of delivery and done by experts for better perinatal outcome.
