Abstract
PPROM is a risk factor for cord accident and chorioamnionitis. It is accepted that delivery is justified beyond 34w of gestation. Before 34w, amniocentesis is offered for assessing fetal lung maturity. Aniocentesis is an invasive procedure which harbors a risk of iatrogenic infection and may be difficult in cases of oligohydramnios. The purpose of this study was to validate an alternative non-invasive measurement of LB drawn from a vaginal pool for predicting fetal lung maturity and to set a cutoff for LB concentration above which fetal lung maturity is likely.
