Ultrasound evaluation of amniotic fluid: outcome of pregnancies with severe oligohydramnios.
Severe oligohydramnios, defined as a condition in which the largest pocket of amniotic fluid measures less than 1 cm in its vertical axis as determined by an ultrasound method, was observed in 113 patients in a population of 15,431 referred high-risk patients (0.7%). In all cases, intervention took place unless there was a recognized structural anomaly or extreme prematurity. Overall gross perinatal mortality was 132.7/1000, and the incidence of major anomaly was 13.3%. With intervention the corrected perinatal mortality rate was 17.7/1000, a rate not significantly different from that observed in the entire population. All end points of perinatal mortality were significantly increased in patients with severe oligohydramnios, in comparison with randomly selected control subjects with normal amniotic fluid. These findings are interpreted to indicate that severe oligohydramnios in a structurally normal fetus is an indication for delivery.
