Maternal and Perinatal Outcome in Preterm Premature Rupture of Membrane.
Background: Pre labor rupture of membranes (PROM) is defined as the spontaneous rupture of amniotic membranes with a release of amniotic fluid after 28 weeks of pregnancy and before the onset of labor. Aims and Objectives: To analyse the cases of preterm premature rupture of membrane in terms of maternal and perinatal outcome. Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted over hundred singleton pregnancies with cephalic presentation with gestational age 32 36 weeks with preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) admitted to labour room in Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, at Pt. B.D. Sharma PGIMS, Rohtak. Sample size:100. Observations: Perinatal mortality observed in group A 4.87% cases and group B 5.08% Conclusion: PPROM is significant obstetric problem. It contributes to increased maternal morbidity as well as perinatal morbidity and mortality. Careful antenatal monitoring, detection and prompt treatment of infection is necessary. Strict aseptic precautions, appropriate therapy, and proper antenatal follow up are important factors in prevention and management of PPROM.
