To determine if an intrapartum amniotic fluid index (IAFI)or = 5.0 cm, or any other level, is associated with abdominal delivery for fetal intolerance to labor or Apgar scores7 at one and five minutes.Prospectively IAFI was obtained in the latent phase of labor in 1,000 parturients at26 weeks. Receiver operating characteristic curves were utilized to determine if any IAFI could be utilized to predict adverse outcome among (1) the entire population, (2) complicated pregnancies, (3) uncomplicated pregnancies, (4) term, or (5) preterm gestation.The frequencies of abdominal delivery for suspected fetal intolerance and low Apgar scores were similar among patients with IAFIor = 5.0 cm (n = 288) versus those with IAFI5.0 cm. All five receiver operating characteristic curves indicated that IAFI is a poor predictor of adverse outcomes. At all the discriminatory IAFIs (0-20 cm), the false positive rate was virtually identical to the true positive rate.IAFI appears to be a poor screening test for identifying those at risk for abdominal delivery for presumed fetal distress or for birth of an infant with low Apgar scores. |
