Table 2. The presence and absence of oligohydramnios with respect to the presence of selected conditions of severe neonatal morbidity.
With oligohydramnios | Without oligohydramnios | p-value | |
(n = 40) | (n = 34) | ||
Tracheal intubation | 3 (8%) | 2 (6%) | 1.00 |
Respiratory distress syndrome | 12 (30%) | 14 (41%) | 0.34 |
Intraventricular hemorrhage | 4 (10%) | 9 (26%) | 0.08 |
Intraventricular hemorrhage grade III and IV | 1 (3%) | 0 (0%) | 1.00 |
Necrotizing enterocolitis | 1 (3%) | 0 (0%) | 1.00 |
Retinopathy of prematurity | 1 (3%) | 1 (3%) | 1.00 |
Early-onset sepsis | 2 (5%) | 1 (3%) | 1.00 |
Late-onset sepsis | 1 (3%) | 1 (3%) | 1.00 |
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia | 4 (10%) | 2 (6%) | 0.68 |
Pneumonia | 1 (3%) | 2 (6%) | 0.59 |
Neonatal death before hospital discharge | 3 (8%) | 1 (3%) | 0.62 |
Severe neonatal morbidity | 18 (45%) | 19 (56%) | 0.48 |
The categorical variables were compared using Fisher's exact test [values presented as numbers (%)].
Severe neonatal morbidity was defined as a need for intubation, respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, early-onset sepsis, late-onset sepsis and/or neonatal death before hospital discharge.
