Description
Summary:Objective: To evaluate pregnancy outcome following late amniocentesis (>24 weeks of gestation). Study design: A retrospective cohort of all women with singleton pregnancy that underwent late amniocentesis in one tertiary center. Results: Pregnancy outcome was validated in 168 women who underwent late amniocentesis. Overall, for the all study group the mean gestational age for amniocentesis was 31.6 ± 2.3 weeks and the mean gestational age at delivery was 38.1 ± 2. Indications for late amniocentesis included abnormal ultrasonographic findings (n = 120), suspected intrauterine infection (n = 23), advanced maternal age (n = 13), abnormal first or second trimester biochemical markers (n = 8) and others. The overall rate of spontaneous preterm delivery (
