Abstract

The present study was conducted for assessing maternal and perinatal outcome in premature rupture of membranes Materials & Methods: A total of 200 patients with confirmed diagnosis of premature rupture of membrane at or more than thirty-seven weeks of gestation were enrolled. Complete demographic and clinical details of all subjects was obtained. Only those subjects were enrolled which had cervical dilatation of more than 3 cm and which lacked uterine contraction for at least 1 hour of PROM. The results of a thorough "per vaginal examination" were recorded, including the cervix's consistency, effacement, dilatation, position, presence or absence of membrane, vertex station and position, caput presence, molding, and pelvic assessment. Both the maternal and foetal outcomes were seen. SPSS software was used to record and interpret each outcome. Results: Puerperal sepsis, wound infection site and hemorrhage was seen in 13 percent, 8 percent and 5 percent of the patients respectively. Neonatal outcome was alive in 75 percent of the patients while alive with complications was seen in 22 percent of the patients. Still birth was seen in 3 percent of the patients. 21 percent of the Fetus were admitted to NICU. Conclusion:Timely diagnosis and management of preterm PROM will allow obstetric care providers to optimize perinatal outcome and minimize neonatal morbidity
