Abstract
Evaluation of AFV through ultrasound measurement is an essential part in tests of fetal well-being (BPP), by measuring the AFI or the MVP. The aim of this study is to compare the use of the amniotic fluid index with the maximum vertical pocket measurement as a screening tool for decreased amniotic fluid volume (An AFI<5 or single deepest pocket depth<2) in predicting adverse perinatal outcome in late severe preeclampsia (>34w). Participants included 60 women. Ultrasound was done for estimation of the amniotic fluid volume using AFI technique for the first group (30cases) and the MVP technique for the second group (60 cases) we concluded that AFI had more significant statistical relationship with perinatal outcome, hence AFI appeared to be a better predictor of perinatal outcome in preeclamptics in late severe preeclampsia
