premature rupture of membranes (prom) is one of the most common complications of pregnancy that has a major impact on neonatal outcomes. with respect to racial, nutritional and cultural differences between developed and developing countries, this study was conducted to detect the prevalence of neonatal complications following prom and the role of the duration of rupture of membranes in producin...

background: preterm premature rupture of membranes (pprom) occurs in 3% of pregnancies and 30-40% of preterm labors are related to this problem. early diagnosis of pprom is very important due to its impact on pregnancy outcomes. objective: to determine the diagnostic value of aspartate aminotransferase (ast) and alanine aminotransferase (alt) levels in vaginal fluid for the diagnosis of preterm...

INTRODUCTION If left untreated, severe combined immunodeficiency can lead to an acute susceptibility to infection. The intrauterine environment is sterile until the amniotic membranes rupture. The vaginal flora then ascends into the genital tract, thus increasing the risk of chorioamnionitis. An extremely premature and prolonged membrane rupture is associated with a dismal prognosis for an immu...

background: rupture of fetal membranes can occur at any gestational age. premature rupture of membranes (prom) means rupture of fetal membranes before the onset of labor. objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the reliability of the vaginal washing fluid urea and creatinine for the diagnosis of prom and to determine cut-off values. materials and methods: a total of 179...

background premature rupture of membranes (prom) is one of the most common complications of pregnancy that has a major impact on pregnancy outcomes. a diagnostic tool that is non-invasive, specific and quick is needed to predict prom. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic power of the vaginal washing fluid prolactin for the diagnosis of premature rupture of membranes and to d...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate neonatal survival after prolonged preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) in the era of antenatal corticosteroids, surfactant, and inhaled nitric oxide. METHODS A single-center retrospective cohort study of neonates born from 2002-2011 after prolonged (1 week or more) preterm (less than 24 weeks of gestation) rupture of membranes was performed. The primary outcome ...
