“…This may be caused by work related stress; exerting effort in work and difficult transportation in Egypt may induce PPROM with all its consequences. This result goes in agreement with Sathenahalli et al, 2016 who reported that maternal manual labor during pregnancy was associated with higher incidence of prematurity and low birth weight. 37 The lack of significant association in the present study between smoking & poor fetal outcome was similarly reported in Zambia.…”

“…In the current study 2% of infants had neonatal sepsis, similarly, Nabhan et al, 2014 reported that 3.5% of infants of mothers having PPROM at Ain Shams maternity hospital developed sepsis. 36 But this rate is low if compared to rates of 18% in a study in Assuit and 6.7% in Bangladesh [16 & 31]. The higher rate of sepsis reported in these studies may be due to difference in diagnostic criteria as diagnosis of sepsis was based on histopathological findings rather than clinical diagnosis as performed in the current study.…”

Abstract:Background: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is one of the leading identifiable causes of premature birth and it accounts for high rates of perinatal deaths in developed and developing countries. Objectives: The study was conducted to measure the prevalence of PPROM among pregnant women attending Ain Shams maternity hospital, and to identify the fetal/neonatal outcome among pregnant women presented with PPROM and potential factors associated with poor fetal/neonatal outcome. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted on two phases using data retrieved from computerized hospital information system (HIS), Ain Shams Maternity Hospital. Data about all deliveries from 2011-2015 was revised from Hospital Information System to calculate the frequency of PPROM during these years. A sample of 300 medical files of pregnant women who were diagnosed with PPROM before 37 weeks and admitted to the hospital in the year 2015 were then extracted from the hospital archive and revised using a checklist developed by the investigators. Relevant data was obtained from these medical files.
