[Association of Doppler flowmetry with perinatal outcome in patients with oligohydramnios].

Background: Oligohydramnios is sometimes associated with poor perinatal outcome. Our aim was to determine the association of Doppler flowmetry with perinatal outcome in patients with oligohydramnios.

Methods: We carried out a prospective cross-sectional study that included 130 patients with pregnancy between 30 to 41 weeks of gestation; we compared the measurement of the resistance index in the umbilical artery by Doppler flowmetry and the measurement of amniotic fluid in patients with oligohydramnios.
