Subjective Ultrasonographic Assessment of Amniotic Fluid Depth: Comparison with the Amniotic Fluid Index

Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy, 2009
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability to identify abnormalities in amniotic fluid volume by subjective ultrasonographic assessment compared to a semiobjective method. In 886 consecutive ultrasound examinations subjective assessment of the amniotic fluid volume was performed and graded into 3 categories: normal, decreased, and increased.

Amniotic fluid index curves in the obese gravida

Journal of Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine, 2020
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether amniotic fluid volume as measured by amniotic fluid index (AFI) is influenced by maternal pre-gestational obesity as measured by body mass index (BMI). METHODS: This was a ...

Amniotic Fluid Index Accuracy in Mid-Trimester

Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy, 2009
<i>Objective:</i> The aim of this trial was to evaluate the correlation between amniotic fluid index (AFI) and the real amniotic volume in mid-trimester pregnancies. <i>Methods:</i> Eight women with mid-trimester anhydramnios pregnancies were included. Patients gave their informed consent.

The Effects of Maternal Position on the Amniotic Fluid Index

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, 2006
We investigated the influence of maternal positioning on the measurement of the amniotic fluid index (AFI) in third-trimester pregnancies. We wanted to determine whether a change in the position of the women, from supine-flat to supine-elevated, would influence the measurement of the AFI.Each patient had AFI measurements obtained in both positions by ...

The accuracy of the summated amniotic fluid index in evaluating amniotic fluid volume in twin pregnancies

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1997
Our purpose was to determine the accuracy of the summated amniotic fluid index designed to estimate the total amniotic fluid volume in twin pregnancies.The summated amniotic fluid index was measured in 62 normal diamniotic twin pregnancies by adding the deepest vertical pockets in the four quadrants.

Amniotic fluid index for screening late pregnancies

International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2000
To find out whether amniotic fluid index (AFI) could be used to screen late pregnancies which presented at the clinic for the first time for any adverse perinatal outcome.Retrospective study that compared patients with AFI > or = 5 with those with AFI > or = 5.Korle Bu Teaching Hospital, Accra, Ghana.One thousand one hundred and eleven consecutive ...

Intrapartum Amniotic Fluid Index

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1998
Using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves, we tried to determine the diagnostic threshold of amniotic fluid index (AFI) that will identify abnormal fetal size (birth weights under 2500 g or at least 4000 g) at 37 weeks or beyond.We analyzed prospectively over 2 years all parturients with intact membranes and known AFI in early labor ...

Serial assessment of amniotic fluid index in uncomplicated term pregnancies: prognostic value of amniotic fluid reduction

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2004
Assessment of amniotic fluid volume in association with a non-stress test is a commonly used method to monitor fetal well-being in high-risk pregnancies. The aims of our study were to determine whether oligohydramnios and the trend in amniotic fluid volume have prognostic significance in low-risk pregnancies between 40.0 and 41.6 weeks' gestation ...

Amniotic Fluid Index and Single Deepest Pocket

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2000
To compare amniotic fluid index (AFI) with the single deepest pocket in the identification of actual abnormal amniotic fluid (AF) volumes.One hundred seventy-nine women with singleton pregnancies at the University of Mississippi between March 1994 and June 1999 had ultrasound estimations of AF volume sequentially using the AFI and single deepest pocket

Standards for the quantification of serial changes in the amniotic fluid index

Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1996
AbstractA total of 274 low‐risk pregnancies underwent predetermined scheduled serial ultrasound examinations and measurements of the amniotic fluid index (AFI). As expected from previous cross‐sectional studies, there is a gradual decline in the AFI from mid‐trimester until term.
