Abstract: (1632 Views)

Background and Aim: Amniotic fluid is an effective indicator for placental function and fetal development. Evaluating amniotic fluid volume is one of the main ways to assess fetal health. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the amniotic fluid index on pregnancy consequences in Sabzevar City.
Materials and Methods: This prospective study included 240 pregnant women referring to Shahidan Mobini Hospital in Sabzevar. Based on the amniotic fluid index, the women were divided into three groups: normal amniotic fluid, borderline index and less than 5 cm. All maternal and neonatal consequences were investigated in the three groups. Using SPSS-ver. 20 software, chi-square and one-way analysis of variance were used for statistical analysis.
Results: There was a significant difference among the three groups in terms of cesarean, meconium excretion, and neonatal hospitalization rates in newborn intensive care unit. In the oligohydramnios group; the above mentioned variables were higher than in the other two groups (p<0.05). There were no significant difference among the three groups in regard to Apgar scores of 1 and 5 minutes, oxytocin consumption in the first and second stages of labor and neonatal weight (p>0.05). There was no neonatal death in the three groups.

Conclusion: The results showed that oligohydramnios is one of the important factors affecting pregnancy outcome. We found no significant difference in adverse pregnancy consequences between pregnancies with borderline and normal amniotic fluid index. Our  study does not support the benefits of intensive care in evaluating the prenatal fetus in pregnancy with borderline amniotic fluid.
