Pregnancy outcome in cases of oligohydramnios after 28 weeks of gestation

A study on maternal and perinatal outcome in pregnancy with oligohydramnios: study from a tertiary care hospital, Karnataka, India

“…6,7 Even though it is thought that oligohydramnios is common in teenage and elderly pregnant women, the probable reason for the younger age group in our study is because this is the common age at which Indian woman get married and become pregnant. 8 Majority (54%) of the participants were primigravida and these findings were similar to that of Ahmar R et al and Ghimire S et al 4,6 The study conducted by Biradar KD et al however, showed that maximum number of participants were multigravida. 7 Mean gestational age in our study was 36.42 which was similar to a study done by Vidyasagar V et al where mean gestational age was 36.39.…”

“…In the present study, majority (44%) of the females were in the age group of 26-30 years. The maximum number of participants were in the age group of 20-30 years in studies conducted by Ghimire S et al, and Bhat et al 4,5 There were also studies where maximum number of participants were in the age group of 20-25 years. 6,7 Even though it is thought that oligohydramnios is common in teenage and elderly pregnant women, the probable reason for the younger age group in our study is because this is the common age at which Indian woman get married and become pregnant.…”

“…These results were close to a study done by Ghimire et al where the incidence of LSCS was 85% in patients with oligohydramnios. 4 In the study done by Biradar KD et al, the incidence of LSCS was 62% and still lower i.e. 47% in study done by Ahmar R et al 6 There is a common belief that less liquor is associated with complications like intrauterine growth retardation, birth asphyxia due to meconium aspiration and sudden death.…”

Prolongation of a pregnancy with second trimester severe oligohydramnios to term: a case report

“…6 Oligohydramnios in pregnancy is many a time associated with neonatal complications. 7 Adverse neonatal outcomes usually warrant drastic steps on the part of the Obstetrician. Some studies have shown that amniotic fluid index (AFI) is a predictor of adverse outcome while other authors have not confirmed the association.…”

Fetal and maternal outcome in oligohydramnios pregnancy (37-40 weeks)

“…Early onset of oligohydramnios usually are reported to be associated with congenital fetal anomalies, such as dysplastic kidney, bladder outlet obstruction, bilateral renal agenesis, pulmonary hypoplasia, bilateral multicystic kidney etc, with poor fetal outcomes as Intrauterine growth restriction, fascial distortion and multiple structural deformities. 2,3 Late onset oligohydramnios are mostly related to umbilical cord compression and thick meconium liquor, and these women are more likely to be affected by placental abnormality or maternal complications such as preeclampsia or vascular diseases. 1 The objective of the study was to study various maternal and fetal outcome in pregnancy with oligohydramnias.…”
