Design:
30% preterm deliveries are the consequence of preterm premature rupture of membranes. The available data suggests lack of benefit of conservative management of preterm premature rupture of membranes.
Objective:
Our objective was to compare perinatal outcomes in regard to the duration of rupture of membranes and gestational ages.
Materials And Methods:
435 newborns delivered below 28 weeks of pregnancy, 28-32 weeks of pregnancy and above 32 weeks of pregnancy were studied.
Results:
There was no significant difference in the group of newborns delivered before 33 weeks of gestation.
Conclusion:
The duration of rupture of membranes had significant on perinatal outcomes among neonates born after 33 weeks of gestation.
