Retrospective study conducted in Armed Forces Hospitals of Southern Region, comparing cases with oligohydramnios (amniotic fluid level index <5) to normal amniotic fluid cases (amniotic fluid level index ≥ 8). Primary outcomes are the mode of delivery and adverse perinatal outcomes (including mortality, NICU admission, low Apgar score and sepsis)
Oligohydramnios happens in 1-5% of term pregnancies. The clinical significance of isolated oligohydramnios been a matter of debate. We aimed in this study to investigate the impact of isolated oligohydramnios on the mode of delivery and risk of adverse perinatal outcome.
