Abstract
Abstract: To study the Maternal and perinatal outcome in reduced amniotic fluid index (AFI) at term in low risk pregnancies.A Prospective case control study of term, low risk pregnancy, reduced AFI within two study groups, group b1 (AFI=5-8cm) 98 patients and group b2 (AFI=less than 5cm) 95 patients diagnosed by ultrasound after 37 completed weeks of gestation compared with 180 controls (AFI>8cm).The selected outcomes showed significant variations in two study groups. There were increased chances of induced labor, thick meconium, increased caesarean rates in study group b2 (AFI less than 5cm) but did not affect perinatal outcome which was statistically significant.Isolated reduced AFI at term is not associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. However, it increases the risk of labour induction and Caesarean section rate. Keywords:Caesarean section, isolated,reduced AFI, perinatal outcome
