OP25.03: Iatrogenic preterm prelabour rupture of membranes after umbilical cord occlusion in monochorionic diamniotic pregnancies

Maternal serum amyloid A levels in pregnancies complicated with preterm prelabour rupture of membranes.

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate a possible association between maternal serum amyloid A levels (SAA) and maternal and fetal parameters in pregnancies complicated with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 88 pregnant women (PPROM group, n = 44 and control group, n = 44) were included into this prospective case control study Serum bloo...

Umbilical Cord Blood IL-6 as Predictor of Early-Onset Neonatal Sepsis in Women with Preterm Prelabour Rupture of Membranes

OBJECTIVE To evaluate umbilical cord interleukin (IL)-6 and funisitis as independent predictors of early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) in preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM). DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Evaluation of umbilical cord IL-6 and funisitis as predictors of early-onset neonatal sepsis in PPROM. POPULATION 176 women with PPROM between 23+0-36+6 weeks of gest...

OBSTETRICS FOR PAEDIATRICIANS Preterm prelabour rupture of membranes

The problem Unfortunately there are too many examples in obstetrics of very important conditions for which there is no consensus of professional opinion about definition, diagnosis, risks, and above all, management. Preterm prelabour rupture of the membranes (PPROM) is such a case. The best, most widely used, and simplest definition of PPROM is membrane rupture occurring before the onset of reg...

Monochorionic Diamniotic Twin Pregnancies: Natural History and Risk Stratification

About 30% of monochorionic twin pregnancies are complicated by twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS), isolated discordant growth, twin anemia-polycythemia sequence, congenital defects or intrauterine demise. About 15% will be eligible for invasive fetal therapy, either fetoscopic laser treatment for TTTS or fetoscopic or ultrasound-guided umbilical cord coagulation for a severe congenital de...
