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 ...

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

Relationship between pre-pregnancy body mass index and mineral concentrations in serum and amniotic fluid in pregnant women during labor.

Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, 2019
The aim of the study was to determine the correlations between body mass index (BMI) values before pregnancy and the concentrations of selected elements (Mg, Co, Cu, Zn, Sr, Cd, Ba, Pb, U, Ca, Cr, Al, Mn, V, Fe) in blood serum and amniotic fluid (AF) in ...

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 CREATININE: AN UNRELIABLE INDEX OF FETAL MATURITY

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 1972
SummaryAmniotic fluid creatinine was measured in 306 samples. There was a wide scatter of values at each week of gestation, and although there was a tendency for the levels to rise with increasing gestational age the scatter was so wide and so much overlap occurred that the method must be regarded as unreliable for estimating maturity in clinical ...

The Relationship between the Fetal Volume-Corrected Renal Artery Pulsatility Index and Amniotic Fluid Volume

Fetal Diagnosis and Therapy, 2018
Introduction: To evaluate if the volume-corrected renal artery pulsatility index (vcRA-PI) is more closely related to the amniotic fluid level than the uncorrected or the gestational age (GA)-adjusted RA-PI. Methods: RA-PI and kidney volume were measured

Mathematical models to correlate amniotic fluid index and amniotic fluid volume.

Journal of the Mississippi State Medical Association, 1998
To describe a predictable relationship that relates amniotic fluid index (AFI) to amniotic fluid volume (AFV) and improve the accuracy of AFI to detect true oligohydramnios.Data from 42 parturients (group I) who underwent measurements of amniotic fluid sonographically (amniotic fluid index) as well as by dye-dilution technique was used to relate AFI to

Amniotic Fluid Index: An Appropriate Predictor of Perinatal Outcome

American Journal of Perinatology, 1990
Qualitative amniotic fluid volume determination is a routine part of the fetal biophysical profile score. Quantitative amniotic fluid volume measurement, however, is not a factor in the determination of the standard biophysical profile score.

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.
