Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed trends in instrumental vaginal delivery (IVD) and cesarean section (CS) rates at Lagos University Teaching Hospital from 2002 to 2017, using retrospective case records and statistical modeling.
- Findings showed a low IVD rate of 1.36% with a significant decline over the years, while the CS rate was much higher at 44.9 per 100 deliveries, increasing annually by about 3.7%.
- The research highlighted the need for improved training on IVD techniques to potentially lower the rising CS rates, as the most common reasons for IVD were related to prolonged labor.
Background: Oligohydramnios is a predictor of fetal compromise and a useful tool in pregnancy management. It has been assessed using various techniques, including two-diameter pocket (2-DP) and amniotic fluid index (AFI).
Objectives: To determine which of these two techniques best diagnose oligohydramnios and predicts adverse perinatal outcomes.
