The Association Between Early Membrane Rupture, Latency, Clinical Chorioamnionitis, Neonatal Infection, and Adverse Perinatal Outcomes in Twin Pregnancies Complicated by Preterm Prelabour Rupture of Membranes
Abstract:T he objective of this study was to evaluate associations between adverse outcomes in twin pregnancies and preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM). A chart review of 246 consecutive twin pregnancies with confirmed PPROM was conducted. Regression analysis (β [natural log of the odds ratio] and odds ratio [OR]) was performed to identify independent predictors. Two hundred and forty-six twin pregnancies, 492 liveborns, and 20 neonatal deaths. Mean (SD) PPROM gestational age (GA): 31.3 (3.8) wk; delivery GA… Show more
