Results of fetal health assessment tests in pregnancies with borderline and normal amniotic fluid index: A case-control study
Background
There is currently insufficient evidence to support routine fetal surveillance or early delivery decisions in cases of borderline Amniotic Fluid Index (AFI).
Objective
This study aimed to compare the results of fetal health assessment tests in pregnancies with borderline and normal AFI.
Methods
This case-control study was conducted on 300 pregnant women (150 with normal AFI and 150 with borderline AFI) at the 29 Bahman Hospital in Tabriz-Iran. Due to the small number of mothers with borderline AFI, all pregnant mothers with borderline AFI were recruited (census sampling). For the control group, mothers with normal AFI were selected using matched sampling based on age, parity, and gestational age to correspond to the borderline group. The data were collected using a four-part researcher-made questionnaire.
Results
A significant difference was observed in the reduction of maternal perception of fetal movements between the two groups (p = 0.0001), with 35 (23.3 %) women in the normal AFI group and 46 (30.7 %) women in the borderline AFI group reporting reduced movements. The groups had no significant differences regarding Non-Stress Test (NST) (p = 0.324) and Biophysical Profile (BPP) (p = 0.442) results. In women with borderline AFI, maternal perception of decreased fetal movement was 7 times more likely than in women with a normal AFI (OR = 7.43; 95 %CI: 4.4 to 12.4; p = 0.0001).
Conclusion
The results of fetal health assessment tests in women with borderline AFI were similar to those with normal AFI. Therefore, clinical management of borderline AFI cases may be approached similarly to those with normal AFI.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Africa Nursing Sciences (IJANS) is an international scientific journal published by Elsevier. The broad-based journal was founded on two key tenets, i.e. to publish the most exciting research with respect to the subjects of Nursing and Midwifery in Africa, and secondly, to advance the international understanding and development of nursing and midwifery in Africa, both as a profession and as an academic discipline. The fully refereed journal provides a forum for all aspects of nursing and midwifery sciences, especially new trends and advances. The journal call for original research papers, systematic and scholarly review articles, and critical papers which will stimulate debate on research, policy, theory or philosophy of nursing as related to nursing and midwifery in Africa, technical reports, and short communications, and which will meet the journal''s high academic and ethical standards. Manuscripts of nursing practice, education, management, and research are encouraged. The journal values critical scholarly debate on issues that have strategic significance for educators, practitioners, leaders and policy-makers of nursing and midwifery in Africa. The journal publishes the highest quality scholarly contributions reflecting the diversity of nursing, and is also inviting international scholars who are engaged with nursing and midwifery in Africa to contribute to the journal. We will only publish work that demonstrates the use of rigorous methodology as well as by publishing papers that highlight the theoretical underpinnings of nursing and midwifery as it relates to the Africa context.
