A Clinical Study of maternal factors in Pregnancies with Oligohydramnios- a tertiary hospital-based study
Dr. Shikha Sonker

Background: Oligohydramnios is a condition characterized by a decrease in theamount of amniotic fluid surrounding the fetus.Objectives: To study the maternal and fetal outcomes in women with oligohydramnios and to correlate various maternal factors with oligohydramnios.Methods: A hospital-based study was conducted among 100 women diagnosed with oligohydramnios in the third trimester. The women were divided into two groups based on the amniotic fluid index (AFI): ≤ 5 cm and > 5-8 cm.Results: The majority of women (89%) were booked cases, and 56% were primigravidas. The mean gestational age was 37.42 ± 2.39 weeks. There was a significant association between AFI status and maturity (P = 0.035). The most common associated maternal condition was intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) (21%). The number of mothers who gave birth via vaginal route was 41%, while 59% underwent lower segment cesarean section (LSCS).Conclusion: Oligohydramnios is a common complication of pregnancy, and its occurrence is more common in the late gestational period. IUGR is the most common associated maternal condition. The mode of delivery is not significantly associated with booking status, gravidity, or gestational age.
