Oligohydramnios
We identified one randomised pilot study of induction of
labour for isolated oligohydramnios.22 In this study, the
investigators randomised 54 women with oligohydramnios
and pregnancies at 41 weeks of gestation (288 days) to induction
of labour or expectant management until 42 weeks.
Women with suspected IUGR, abnormal fetal cardiotocography
or abnormal umbilical artery Doppler studies were
excluded. The investigators found no difference in any of their
outcomes of interest including birthweight, mode of delivery,
umbilical blood pH, Apgar scores or admission to
neonatal intensive care. However
