Authors' conclusionsAuthors' conclusions
The single deepest vertical pocket measurement The single deepest vertical pocket measurement in the assessment of amniotic fluid volume during in the assessment of amniotic fluid volume during fetal surveillance seems a better choice since the fetal surveillance seems a better choice since the use of the amniotic fluid index increases the rate use of the amniotic fluid index increases the rate of diagnosis of oligohydramnios and the rate of of diagnosis of oligohydramnios and the rate of induction of labor without improvement in induction of labor without improvement in peripartum outcomes. A systematic review of the peripartum outcomes. A systematic review of the diagnostic accuracy of both methods in detecting diagnostic accuracy of both methods in detecting decreased amniotic fluid volume is required.decreased amniotic fluid volume is required.
