Abstract
To determine the fetomaternal outcome in pregnant women at term with low amniotic liquid. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 120 pregnant women aged 18 to 40 years, gestational age 37 to 40 weeks, and low amniotic fluid < 5 cm on ultrasonography. Fetomaternal outcomes were assessed in all women. Chi-Square test was used for association keeping P value < 0.05 as significant. The mean age was 28.71±6.56 years. Caesarean section was carried out on 65% of patients, a low APGAR score was noted in 61.7% of neonates, low birth weight was seen in 64.2% of neonates, while 15% of neonates required NICU admission. Our study observed that caesarean section, low APGAR score at 5 minutes, low birth weight, and NICU admission are the most commonly associated fetomaternal outcome of the low amniotic fluid index in pregnant women at term.
