Association between borderline amniotic fluid levels and adverse perinatal outcome: systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of the present study was to evaluate adverse perinatal outcomes in low-risk singleton pregnancies with borderline oligohydramnios.

Methods

A comprehensive literature search was conducted for observational cohort studies that compared perinatal outcomes in low-risk singleton pregnancies between those with borderline oligohydramnios, defined as an amniotic fluid index (AFI) of 5.1-8.0 cm, and those with a normal AFI. EMBASE, MEDLINE and Web of Science databases were searched for studies published from inception to July 2024. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Meta-analyses were performed using a random-effects model to calculate pooled proportions and 95% CIs for each outcome in both groups. The outcomes assessed includ
