Expectant management of PPROM and major complications before planned delivery: A retrospective cohort study

Abstract: Women with pre-term pre-labour rupture of membranes (PPROM) 22-33 weeks' gestation were included in a retrospective cohort study with a structured audit to identify risk factors of major complications following PPROM and to assess whether these complications are predictable. Of the 234 women analysed, 106 (45%) delivered within three days. Eighty-four women (36%) had at least one major complication and 45% of these complications occurred within three days. The complication rate was 64% in early PPROM before 28… Show more

“…Almost half of all women affected by PPROM will deliver within the first 72 hours, and the risk of a major complication associated with PPROM is greatest during this time . The results of the present study suggest that after this initial high‐risk period, among women who meet specific criteria, there are no differences in adverse maternal or neonatal outcomes between those who receive PCAH and those who receive in‐hospital surveillance.…”

“…6 As balancing the risk of chorioamnionitis and neonatal complications related to prematurity is challenging for the physicians, predicting neonatal outcome is one of the key points in the appropriate management of pregnancies complicated by PPROM. 7,8 Although gestational age at delivery is the main determinant of neonatal outcomes, exposure of the fetus to the excessive intrauterine infection/inflammation was another important risk factor for neonatal complications. [9][10][11][12] Thus, estimating maternal and fetal inflammation seems to be reasonable in order to assess the prognosis of the neonate.…”
