P15.07: Cervical length as a predictor of latency to labour in twin pregnancies complicated by preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM): a retrospective study
Abstract:Objectives: Preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM) is a significant risk factor for preterm birth, which carries tremendous medical, financial and psychological burden. Predicting onset of labour after PPROM can result in timely interventions, including appropriate transfer to tertiary care centres; this in turn may improve neonatal care and decreased maternal and provider uncertainty. Ultrasound-measured cervical length can predict preterm delivery in singleton pregnancies complicated by PPROM, but no… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
