Perinatal outcomes in uncomplicated late preterm pregnancies with borderline oligohydramnios

What is it about?

Amniotic fluid is one of the determining factors of fetal well being during pregnancy and it is essential for normal fetal growth and development. Borderline AFI is associated with adverse fetal and neonatal outcomes, as it has the potential to progress to oligohydramnios. Although several previous studies have evaluated borderline AFI and adverse perinatal outcomes, it is difficult to compare these studies, due to their different inclusion and exclusion criteria, different gestational weeks, and different definitions of borderline AFI. The present study aimed to evaluate the adverse fetal outcomes in uncomplicated late preterm pregnancies with isolated borderline oligohydramnios.
