CLINICAL EVALUATION OF FETAL AND NEONATAL OUTCOMES IN THE PRESENCE OF DENSE AMIDIATED LIQUID IN WOMEN WITH RISK OF PREMATURE LABOR
Some earlier publications have been described strong correlation between amniotic fluid sludge and spontaneous premature birth. Perinatal outcomes from preterm births in women with identified amniotic fluid sludge and in its absence were analyzed and the comparative evaluation was given. In comparison with control group the presence of sludge was associated with lower gestational age at delivery, lower birth weight and the 5 minutes Apgar score, as well as greater neonatal morbidity and mortality.
