A Bayesian Stepwise Discriminant Model for Predicting Risk Factors of Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes

Abstract: Background:Preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) can lead to serious consequences such as intrauterine infection, prolapse of the umbilical cord, and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Genital infection is a very important risk which closely related with PPROM. The preliminary study only made qualitative research on genital infection, but there was no deep and clear judgment about the effects of pathogenic bacteria. This study was to analyze the association of infections with PPROM in pregnant wom… Show more

“…Our study revealed that diabetes is also one of the factors associated with PTB, as reported in previous reports [ 1 ]. One case-control study concluded that vaginal GBS colonization at 28–36 weeks of gestation was discriminant factors for pPROM according to stepwise discriminant analysis [ 14 ]. Our study yielded results consistent with this report, but a larger sample would be needed to demonstrate this association.…”

“…A rate of 14.8% was also described in another Brazilian article (54), but with normally progressing women in the third trimester of pregnancy, without rupture of membranes. A recent Chinese case-control article (55) identified Group B streptococcal infection as a risk factor for PROM, with rates of 22.3% in cases and 6.5% in controls. Interestingly, this rate was quite similar to our data.…”

“…respectively with far lesser rates in control group of Zhang et al (6.5%) suggesting GBS infection as a risk factor for PPROM. 7,[13][14][15] Hence some authors recommend chemoprophylaxis for GBS during intrapartum to decrease the incidence of early-onset neonatal GBS sepsis and mortality unless a negative perineal culture for GBS has been documented within the previous 5 weeks. 16 However, RCOG guidelines 2017 recommended routine use intrapartum antibiotic prophylasis for GBS irrespective of GBS carrier status.…”
