Amniotic Fluid Index and Perinatal Morbidity

American Journal of Perinatology, 1996
Our purpose was: (1) to determine whether assessment of amniotic fluid index in high risk patients with a reactive nonstress test (NST) allowed improved recognition of the fetus at risk for perinatal morbidity than a reactive NST alone; and (2) to determine the optimal low amniotic fluid index (AFI) which should prompt clinical concern.

The amniotic fluid index in late pregnancy

The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine, 2002
Our purpose was to examine changes in the amniotic fluid index (AFI) in accurately dated term pregnancies both in relation to gestational age and in relation to the onset of spontaneous labor.This was a prospective observational study in 137 women with uneventful term pregnancies, in whom 220 AFI measurements were performed. More than one AFI value was

The Amniotic Fluid Index in Normal Twin Pregnancies

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2000
We sought to investigate the amniotic fluid index for individual gestational sacs of twin pregnancies.Four hundred eighty-eight patients with normal diamniotic twins were examined between 14 and 40 weeks' gestation. The dividing membrane between twin fetuses was identified.

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.

Effect of Fetal Presentation on the Amniotic Fluid Index

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1999
The aim of this study was to determine whether the amniotic fluid index differs according to whether a fetus is in breech or cephalic presentation.Between January 1995 and April 1996 the amniotic fluid index was measured both immediately before and after attempted external cephalic version.

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 ...

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 ...

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 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.
