Abstract
Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) refers to rupture of fetal membranes prior to onset of regular uterine contractions. It continues to be one of the most vexing issues of obstetrics due to increased maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality due to delayed intervention. A total of 240 women were divided into two equal groups to receive either i.v. oxytocin or intracervical PGE2 gel by odd-even method with the aim to compare induction to delivery interval and maternal and fetal outcome in both groups. They were followed from admission till discharge of the patient after delivery. Induction to delivery interval was found to be more in PGE2 group but maternal and fetal outcomes were comparable in both groups
