Introduction:
The objective of this study was to elucidate the efficacy of long-term amnioinfusion on perinatal outcomes in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) before 26 weeks' gestation.
Material:
A total of 31 patients with PPROM at a periviable gestational age (21 + 0-25 + 0 weeks) were enrolled. Long-term amnioinfusion was performed in 22 patients, and 9 patients did not receive amnioinfusion. Data were collected retrospectively from 2 clinical sites between January 2017 and March 2019.
Results:
In the medical management group, there was a significantly higher rate of chorioamnionitis compared to the long-term amnioinfusion group (89 vs. 15%, p = 0.001). The latency period between PPROM and delivery was higher in the amnioinfusion group (median, 5.5 vs. 3 weeks, p = 0.04). The frequency of bronchopulmonary dysplasia was higher in the control group compared to the amnioinfusion group (89 vs. 40%, p = 0.03). The rates of other neonatal complications were similar in both groups.
Conclusions:
Long-term amnioinfusion through an intrauterine catheter in PPROM before 26 weeks' gestation may improve pregnancy and newborn outcomes.
