“…It is believed that oligohydramnios is a risk factor for the outcome of pregnancy, causing in many cases meconium staining, umbilical cord compression, fetal heart rate alterations, increased rate of cesarean section and other complications [2][3][4][5]. Amniotic fluid volume is a biophysical parameter with particular significance in high-risk pregnancies [6]. Furthermore, the combination of this parameter with cardiotocography, and especially with the nonstress test (NST), provides valuable information in such conditions, regarding the evaluation of fetal well-being and the decision making for induction of labor [7,8].…”

“…Pour celles dont la quantité de LA était « peu abondant » (5 cm < AFI < 8 cm), le risque était de 23,3 % de développer un oligoamnios dans les quatre jours qui suivent. De plus, lorsque ce groupe de patientes était comparé à un groupe de patientes non post-terme, le pourcentage de risque d'avoir un oligoamnios dans les quatre jours était plus important [38]. Il avait déjà été montré lors d'une étude longitudinale du LA répétée deux fois par semaine sur 121 patientes après 41 SA, qu'il existait une diminution du LA de 25 % par semaine.…”

“…The probability of oligohydramnios occurring is 1.7% within 4 days or 2.2% within 1 week. If original values are low or beyond 41 weeks, twice-weekly reassessment is advised [10,11]. Perinatal mortality is 13 times as high with moderate and 47 times as high (187.5/1000) with severe oligohydramnios [3].…”
