title: Paris heat wave and oligohydramnios.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of oligohydramnios in term pregnancies during the Paris heat wave of 2003 (August 4-14).
  
  
  METHODS
  A comparison of this frequency to a historical control group examined during the same period in 2002.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The frequency of oligohydramnios in normal term pregnancies was 17.5% during the heat wave that affected Paris in August 2003.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This frequency was substantially higher than the rate of oligohydramnios in normal term pregnancies in August 2002 (4.4%).
