“…Multiparity is a risk factor for membrane rupture due to diminished membrane strength. Similar results were reported by Spinato et al [23] in 1987 and by Ekwo et al [24] in 1993. Multiparity is a risk factor for pPROM due to longstanding infection, previous trauma to cervix and patulous os.…”

“…Many previous studies evaluating the management of ruptured membranes were small and performed prior to the widespread implementation of maternal antibiotic administration to prolong latency and reduce short term morbidity, including neonatal infection. 14,[27][28][29][30][31][32] The PPROMT Trial results, together with the results of the recent PPROMEXIL studies, 20,21 suggest there are benefits from expectant management without incurring significant risk of harms. It may be possible that there are groups of women who benefit from immediate delivery.…”

“…[9][10][11] Several studies have shown increased latency and increased rates of chorioamnionitis in late preterm PPROM women managed expectantly, but found no differences in major neonatal morbidity and mortality, regardless of whether testing for pulmonary maturity was performed. [12][13][14][15] A meta-analysis of these studies recommended an approach of immediate induction of labor for all PPROM women >30 weeks GA or with confirmed pulmonary maturity, although this was mainly shown to benefit maternal morbidity rather than improving neonatal outcome. 16 Long-term follow-up of infants born after PPROM demonstrated that the incidence of significant neurological disorders at 2 years of age was not modified by the length of the latency period 17 but more so by GA at birth, suggesting that an aggressive approach to PPROM after 30 weeks GA does not have a negative impact on neonatal and child development and may reduce fetal risks associated with increased latency to birth.…”
