Comparative Efficacy of Two Sonographic Measurements for the Detection of Aberrations in the Amniotic Fluid Volume and the Effect of Amniotic Fluid Volume on Pregnancy Outcome

Abstract

Compared to the AFI, the two-diameter pocket is a superior sonographic measurement for the detection of oligohydramnios. In an otherwise low-risk pregnancy with preterm labor, oligohydramnios is associated with no greater risk for an adverse outcome than is a normal AFV.
