Maternal and perinatal outcome of expectant management of premature rupture of membranes in the midtrimester

Outcome of Premature Rupture of Membranes – A Study of 120 Cases in Dhaka Medical College Hospital

“…Majority of the patients belonged to the age group 20-24 years which is similar to the studies done by Tasnim, 6 Begum and Chowdhury 8 and Moretti and Sibal. 9 In this study, incidence of PROM was more in primi (53.33%) but Begum and chowdhury 8 Regarding maternal outcome, this study showed maternal morbidity as 36.67 percent compared to 15% in control group which means that morbidity increases more than twice in PROM patients. Tasnim 7 in her study showed maternal morbidity as 52.7 %, puerperal sepsis was most common findings similar to the study of Begum and chowdhury 8 .…”

Amnioinfusion in preterm premature rupture of membranes (AMIPROM): a randomised controlled trial of amnioinfusion versus expectant management in very early preterm premature rupture of membranes – a pilot study

“…[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] The major risk of expectant is maternal infection leading to sepsis. High rates of postpartum morbidity 10 and chorioamnionitis 11 have been reported: 32% and 28%, respectively.…”

“…There was no apparent difference in the median CRP between the arms. (4) Miscarriage (2) Live birth with chronic lung disease (1) Neonatal death (3) No outcome data (1) Eligible but miscarried before randomisation 7 Miscarriage (7)…”

Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membranes and Severe Oligohydramnios from 22-34 Weeks of Amenorrhea

“…Lethal pulmonary hypoplasia rarely occurs with membrane rupture subsequent to 24 weeks of gestation, presumably because alveolar growth adequate to support postnatal development already has occurred [16]. Early second trimester membrane rupture, severe oligohydramnios, and duration of membrane rupture longer than 14 days are primary determinants of the risk of pulmonary hypoplasia [17].…”
