Abstract EN
Objective: To determine if idiopathic polyhydramnios is associated with adverse perinatal outcome.
Design: A retrospective study.
Method: Sixty-nine women with singleton pregnancies who were discovered to have idiopathic polyhydramnios and who were delivered in a period of sixteen months (July 2002-October 2003).
These were compared with 150 pregnant women with normal amount of liquor.
Analytic study of preterm delivery (<37 weeks gestation), low birth weight (<2.5 kg), macrosomia (>4.0 kg), malpresentation, Apgar score at 5 minutes <7, rate of C/S delivery, neonatal hospitalization and death was considered.
Analysis was done using X2 test.
Results: This study showed an increase in malpresentation, C/S and Macrosomia.
Conclusion: Antenatal diagnosis of polyhydramnios requires careful search for associated underlying maternal and fetal conditions.
Adverse perinatal outcomes are less in idiopathic polyhydramnios than in polyhydramnios due to a known cause.
