Perinatal repercussions of Oligohydraneum in high risk pregnancy

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the perinatal results of oligohydramnias in high-risk pregnancies. Method: Epidemiological, observational, retrospective study, with a quantitative approach, carried out using secondary data from 3,448 high-risk pregnant women. Of this total, 44 pregnant women had oligohydramnias as a clinical complication. Data were collected from November 2016 to October 2017. The independent variable was oligohydramnios. The outcome variables were: prematurity, low birth weight, Apgar, fetal and neonatal deaths and type of delivery. Results: Oligohydramnios showed a statistically significant association with preterm birth (p = 0.05), LBW (p <0.001), reduced Apgar in the first minute (p = 0.03) and infant death (p = 0.01). Conclusion: Oligohydramnias in high-risk pregnancies are associated with unfavorable perinatal outcomes such as prematurity, LBW, reduced Apgar score in the 1st and 5th minutes and infant death, highlighting the need for specialized care for pregnant women, through specialized prenatal care and quality.
