FETOMATERNAL OUTCOME IN PREGNANT WOMEN WITH OLIGOHYDRAMNIOS AT TERM: A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY

Abstract

Background: Oligohydramnios at term is associated with increased fetal surveillance, induction of labor, operative 
delivery, and adverse perinatal outcome.
Aim: To evaluate maternal and perinatal outcomes among term pregnant women diagnosed with oligohydramnios.
Materials and Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted in 2020 among 137 term pregnant women 
diagnosed with oligohydramnios. Women with singleton pregnancy beyond 37 weeks with amniotic fluid index ≤5 cm 
were included. Maternal demographic profile, intrapartum findings, mode of delivery, birth weight, APGAR score, NICU 
admission, and perinatal outcome were assessed. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 22.
