The value of amniopatch in pregnancies associated with spontaneous preterm premature rupture of fetal membranes: a randomized controlled trial

Comparative study between the effect of home and hospital management on latent period of pre-labor rupture of membranes

“…Membrane ruptures prior labor and earlier to the 37 th gestational week is described to as "pre-term prolabor ruptures of membranes." 12 . Sterile speculum examinations deliver a chance to check for cervicitis and prolapses of the umbilical cord or fetal organs, evaluate cervical dilatations and effacement, and get cultures as proper.…”

“…Membrane ruptures prior to labor that happens before the gestational 37 th wks. is stated as "pre-term prelabor rupture of membranes 12 . The latent period of labor is the interval from membrane ruptures to labor pain brginning 5.…”

Biomaterial-based treatments for the prevention of preterm birth after iatrogenic rupture of the fetal membranes

“…112–121 Even though in some studies fetal survival was higher than in the controls 116,118 and even reached 100%, intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) was reported in several studies. 118–120 In the cases were IUFD was lower for treated patients than for the control group, there was no significant positive neonatal outcome observed with the use of amniopatch. 118 Even though in one study the use of amniopatch prolonged pregnancy by 7 weeks on average, 116 its use was not always reported to significantly increase pregnancy prolongation nor to bring pregnancies to term.…”

“…112 The formation of a blood clot and the immediate restoration to normal AF levels prompted many other centers to test amniopatch in patients. [112][113][114][115][116][117][118][119][120][121] Even though in some studies fetal survival was higher than in the controls 116,118 and even reached 100%, intrauterine fetal death (IUFD) was reported in several studies. [118][119][120] In the cases were IUFD was lower for treated patients than for the control group, there was no significant positive neonatal outcome observed with the Percentages are expressed as cases falling in a condition/total cases.…”

The role of latency period on the preterm premature rupture of membranes: implication for treatment

“…According to statistics [2,3], the incidence of PPROM is 2.0%~3.5%, and 30%~40% of preterm births are related with PPROM. PPROM can cause premature birth, placental abruption, oligohydramnios, umbilical cord prolapse, fetal distress and neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC), leading to higher perinatal morbidity and mortality [4][5][6]. Therefore, taking correct treatment measures for PPROM patients is crucial to reduce the perinatal complications and improve the prognosis of newborns.…”
