Abstract Background: Incidence of polyhydramnios in various studies has been reported from 0.2 to 3.9%. Approximately, 50-60% of cases are idiopathic with no known etiology. We aimed to investigate perinatal outcomes of idiopathic polyhydramnios with a normal ultrasound. Materials and Methods: In this study, Persian and English databases including Barakatkns, SID, Magiran, Medline, Science Direct, Scopus, Cochran, Embase, and ProQuest were searched for articles published from 1950 to August 2018. The search procedure was conducted with keywords related to "idiopathic polyhydramnios", "perinatal outcomes", "normal ultrasound", and their equivalents in "Mesh" and PICO. In meta-analysis, first we quantified heterogeneity by using I2 statistics and tested using the Cochran’s Q test. Even when a low heterogeneity was detected, a fixed-effects model was applied, and for more than 75% of heterogeneity, random-effects model was used. The Forest Plot chart was drawn up and the relative risk (RR) estimate for each study (ES), the pooled estimate of "RR" by combining all the studies and its 95% CI, and the P-value associated with it, were indicated. Results: In this study, 13 articles involving 325,426 pregnant women were included for the Meta- analysis. The RR and 95% CI of Caesarian Section (C.S), 1.61(1.25-2.07), macrosomia, 1.84(1.40- 2.42), preterm delivery, 2.45(1.29-4.64), NICU admission, 2.90(1.77-4.74), Apgar score min 5 <7, 2.79(1.18-6.57), fetal distress, 1.69(1.02-2.80), and large for gestational age (LGA), 2.27(1.38-3.72), were determined. We found a higher RR of perinatal outcomes including NICU admission, Apgar score min 5<7, preterm delivery, and LGA. RR other perinatal outcomes such as macrosomia, fetal distress, and C.S. were lower. Conclusion: Idiopathic Polyhydramnios was significantly associated with adverse perinatal outcomes. Intensive intrapartum monitoring and further attention in the postpartum are warranted. Key Words: Idiopathic-polyhydramnios, Meta-analysis, Normal ultrasound, Perinatal outcome. *Please cite this article as: Kazemi S, Soleimani F, Kazemi S, Kazemnejad A, Kiani Z, Pazandeh F, et al.

The overall incidence of polyhydramnios gestational diabetes, no fetal infections, no evidence of fetal/maternal hemorrhage or irrespective of etiology ranges in various isoimmunization, and no fetal studies from 0.2 to 3.9% (1, 2). Approximately, 50-60% of cases are chromosomal abnormalities (5-7). Idiopathic polyhydramnios is a matter of idiopathic with no known etiology (3). The debate in obstetric practice, as perinatal amniotic fluid index (AFI) technique defines hydramnios as an amniotic fluid outcomes idiopathic polyhydramnios is conflicting in literature. The aim of this index (AFI) of ≥ 24 cm or ≥ 25 cm, which systematic review and meta-analysis was respectively is ≥ 95, and ≥ 97.5% in normal singleton pregnancies. Also, the to investigate the perinatal outcomes of idiopathic polyhydramnios and to evaluate single deepest pocket (SDP) is ≥ 8; or the whether it is associated with adverse examiner’s subjective assessment of having an increased amount of amniotic events. fluid volume (1).
