Description

<p> We conducted a retrospective study to evaluate the association between the severity of polyhydramnios and its causes, neonatal prognosis, and the accuracy of prenatal diagnosis in singleton pregnancies with polyhydramnios.</p><p> This study included 84 singleton pregnancies with polyhydramnios, who delivered at our hospital between January 2015 and December 2019. Polyhydramnios was diagnosed if amniotic fluid index（AFI）was ≥25cm. All patients were classified into three groups based on the maximum value of AFI in the third trimester（mild: AFI between 25-30 cm, moderate: AFI between 30-35 cm, and severe: AFI >35 cm）.</p><p> The incidence of fetal malformations was significantly higher in moderate or severe group（54%）than in mild group（20%）. The mortality rate was significantly higher in infants those who required amnioreduction（55.6%）and those with chromosomal abnormalities（72.7%）. The accuracy of prenatal diagnosis was 92%, which was slightly higher than that of previous reports.</p>
