摘要

<strong>Background:</strong><span><span><span style="font-family:""><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> Meconium stained amniotic fluid (MSAF), especially observed before term, is considered a sign of fetal jeopardy. Although many studies characterized this condition and associated it with delivery mode, data is lacking in this area, Saudi Arabia. Thus, we attempted to study it. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Methods:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> All data were retrieved from pregnant patients with MSAF who delivered at King Abdul, Saudi Arabia, from January 2015 to December 2018. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Results:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> 758 showed MSAF, of which 83% had vaginal delivery, whereas remaining 17% had an emergency caesarean section. Of them, 32 (4.2%) infants developed meconium aspiration syndrome, and 7 (21.8%) were admitted to the NICU. </span><b><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Conclusion:</span></b><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> It was reconfirmed that MSAF is associated with a newborn risk, especially meconium aspiration syndrome. Patients had a higher rate for emergent caesarean section and baby admission to NICU. These data may be useful to make health/reproductive-health poly-making in this area.</span></span></span></span>
