Polyhydramnios, detected in 3.5% of high-risk pregnancies, is linked to increased fetal macrosomia, premature birth, and anomalies. Early detection warrants further fetal surveillance and genetic evaluation.

Area of Science:

  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
  • Obstetrics
  • Prenatal Diagnostics

Background:

  • Polyhydramnios, an excess of amniotic fluid, is a condition that can complicate high-risk pregnancies.
  • Antepartum fetal surveillance is crucial for monitoring high-risk pregnancies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the incidence and associated adverse outcomes of polyhydramnios in high-risk pregnancies undergoing antepartum fetal surveillance.
  • To identify potential underlying causes and recommend further evaluations when polyhydramnios is detected.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 2081 high-risk pregnancy patients.
  • Assessment of amniotic fluid volume using the amniotic fluid index (AFI).
  • Evaluation of pregnancy outcomes including fetal macrosomia, prematurity, and perinatal morbidity.

Main Results:

  • Polyhydramnios was identified in 72 (3.5%) of the high-risk patients.
  • Patients with polyhydramnios showed a higher incidence of fetal macrosomia, premature births, non-reactive nonstress tests, perinatal morbidity, and fetal anomalies.
  • These adverse outcomes underscore the significance of polyhydramnios as a potential indicator of underlying complications.

Conclusions:

  • Polyhydramnios in high-risk pregnancies necessitates consideration of potential underlying conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, fetal macrosomia, or fetal anomalies.
  • Enhanced fetal surveillance and genetic evaluation are recommended upon detection of polyhydramnios to optimize perinatal outcomes.
