Background: Misoprostol and oxytocin are commonly used to induce labor, particularly in women with prelabour rupture of membranes at term, to avoid complications. Aim: To compare oral misoprostol and oxytocin for labour induction in women presenting with prelabour rupture of membranes at term. Methods: Our study included 100 women reported to department with prelabour rupture of membranes. They...

Over a 20-month period we identified several cases of neonatal pneumonia associated with prelabour rupture of membranes (PROM) at term. PROM complicates 8%-10% of all pregnancies, yet 60% of cases occur at term. Ascending infection is a contributing factor and the incidence of chorioamnionitis in these patients is relatively high, especially with prolonged membrane rupture. The signs and sympto...

Prelabour membrane rupture before 37 weeks of gestation is referred to as preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Incidence of PPROM is about 2% of all pregnancies. 1 The consequences of PPROM for the neonate fall into three major overlapping categories. The first is the significant neonatal morbidity and mortality associated with prematurity. Secondly the complications during labor and...

BACKGROUND: Preterm prelabour rupture of the membranes (PPROM) is an important clinical problem and a dilemma for the gynaecologist.
