The definition of PROM is rupture of membranes before the onset of labor. Membrane rupture before labor and before 37 weeks of gestation is referred to as preterm PROM. Management is influenced by gestational age and the presence of complicating factors, such as clinical infection, abruptio placentae, labor, or nonreassuring fetal status. An accurate assessment of gestational age and knowledge ...

prematurity is the most common cause of neonatal death. risk factors of premature birth can be related with ethnicity and genetic. there is no comprehensive high sample size study in kurdish ethnicity to determine risk factors related to prematurity. this study evaluated risk factors of preterm labor in kurdish ethnicity.this case-control study was conducted in 200 preterm infants (case group) ...

This study was done to evaluate the prevalence of rectovaginal colonization with group B streptococci among pregnant women who delivered in our center. Also maternal and neonatal complications were compared between colonized and noncolonized groups. Rectovaginal cultures were obtained from 1197 pregnant women with gestational ages greater than 24 weeks who were admitted to the labor room of Zei...

OBJECTIVE To assess the maternal morbidity and perinatal outcome in pre-term pre mature rupture of membranes between 24 to 37 weeks gestation. METHODS This observational study was carried out in Gynaecology & Obstetrics Unit - I, at University Hospital Hyderabad, from October 2010 to October 2011. It included one hundred patients admitted through the outpatient department, as well as from cas...

Background: Premature rupture of membrane (PROM) refers to the rupture of fetal membranes at least 1 hour before the onset of labor pain. We aimed to determine the predictive value of maternal serum level of procalcitonin in the early diagnosis of chorioamnionitis in mothers with preterm (PPROM).Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 48 patients with PPROM were selected due to limited finan...

BACKGROUND Many stillbirths show evidence of fetal growth restriction, and most occur at preterm gestational age. The objective of this study is to compare birth weights at preterm gestational ages between live births and stillbirths, and between those occurring before or during labour. METHODS Based on singleton births from the United States (U.S.) 2003-2005 (n=902,491) and Sweden 1992-2001 ...

In order to assess racial differences in rates of idiopathic preterm labour, preterm premature rupture of membranes, and medically indicated preterm delivery, the authors analysed data on 388 preterm (< 37 completed weeks of gestation) births (7.9% of all births) occurring between 1 September 1988 and 31 August 1989, in three central North Carolina counties. The crude relative risk (RR) of pret...
