Title: Is Mild Idiopathic Polyhydramnios Associated with an Increased Risk for an Intrauterine Fetal Demise? A Retrospective Cohort Study

Antenatal fetal surveillance has been recommended for moderate/severe idiopathic polyhydramnios but not for mild idiopathic polyhydramnios. The purpose of this study is to determine if pregnancies with mild idiopathic polyhydramnios have an increased risk for an intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD). Med...

Description
Summary:	Antenatal fetal surveillance has been recommended for moderate/severe idiopathic polyhydramnios but not for mild idiopathic polyhydramnios. The purpose of this study is to determine if pregnancies with mild idiopathic polyhydramnios have an increased risk for an intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD). Medical records and amniotic fluid volume ultrasound data from 2016 to 2021 at a university medical center were examined. Pregnancies with fetal anomalies, fetal infection, isoimmunization, multiple gestation, maternal diabetes and oligohydramnios were excluded. Normal amniotic fluid volume was defined as an amniotic fluid index (AFI)
