Abstract

Prevalence, Fetal and Maternal Outcomes of Premature Rupture of Membranes Among Pregnant Women Attending Minia Maternity University Hospital: a prospective study

Highlights

Premature rupture of membrane (PROM) is defined as a rupture of the amniotic membranes before 37 weeks’ gestation and before the onset of labour, while extreme premature rupture of fetal membranes (PPROM) occurs before 26 weeks’ gestation
Age of patients range from 18 to 48 years old; Gestational age was recorded once the patient is admitted between 24 up to 37 weeks; Gravidity of patients were between G1 – G 10; Parity of patients were between P0 up to P9 with previous history of abortion ranged between (0-7)
Summary and Conclusion Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) called pre-labor rupture of membranes, is a condition that can occur in pregnancy. it is defined as rupture of membranes

Summary

Introduction

Premature rupture of membrane (PROM) is defined as a rupture of the amniotic membranes before 37 weeks’ gestation and before the onset of labour, while extreme PPROM occurs before 26 weeks’ gestation. Demographic data: The study included 456 patients with Premature Rupture Of Membranes at Minia maternity university hospital. Summary and Conclusion: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) called pre-labor rupture of membranes, is a condition that can occur in pregnancy. It is defined as rupture of membranes (breakage of amniotic sac). PROM is a serious condition leading to approximately one-third of preterm births and it complicates about 3% of pregnancies.[1]. It is associated with many perinatal complications including neonatal sepsis, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), placental abruption, and eventually fetal death, and carries a 1 to 2% risk of fetal death.[2]. Low socioeconomic status, a history of sexually transmitted infections, genetic and/or enzymatic abnormalities, nutritional deficiencies, an incompetent cervix, and placental abruption are known predisposing factors.[4]
