Premature rupture of the membranes

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1949
Abstract In this series of 102 cases of premature rupture of the membranes we have found that: 1. 1. Age, color, gravidity, and parity were not significant factors. 2. 2. There was no increase in the incidence of pre-eclampsia. 3. 3. There was no history of trauma or other apparent cause for rupture of the membranes. 4. 4.

Premature Rupture of Membranes [PDF]

, 2015
1. Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is defined as rupture prior to the onset of labor. 2. Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is defined as PROM occurring prior to 37 weeks’ gestation. 3. Rupture of membranes is followed by onset of labor within 24 h in 90 % of term patients and 50 % of preterm patients.

Spontaneous premature rupture of the membranes

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1958
Abstract A sample of cases of spontaneous premature rupture of the membranes associated with the delivery of approximately 7,500 infants weighing 400 grams and above is presented. The over-all incidence of premature rupture of the membranes was 15.8 per cent.

A cut‐off value for systemic immune‐inflammation index in the prediction of adverse neonatal outcomes in preterm premature rupture of the membranes

The journal of obstetrics and gynaecology research, 2020
To determine a cut‐off value for systemic immune‐inflammation index (SII)(neutrophil × platelet /lymphocyte) in the prediction of adverse neonatal outcomes in preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PPROM).

Premature Rupture of Membranes

2017
Preterm rupture of membranes is defined as rupture of membranes prior to the start of labor. It is more common in African American patients. Rupture of membranes increases the risk of perinatal infection and umbilical cord compression. Diagnosis is generally confirmed by either visualization of amniotic fluid from the cervical os, a vaginal pH of more ...

INTRODUCTION TO PREMATURE RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES

Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinics of North America, 1992
PROM is associated with controversies in diagnosis, management, and prognosis. The lack of a gold standard to confirm PROM makes it difficult to determine which diagnostic tool is the best and most reliable. It appears that the older methods of confirming PROM, which depend on properties inherent to amniotic fluid, are the best tools available today ...

The Etiology of Premature Rupture of the Membranes

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1998
The etiology of PROM is multifactorial. It is clear that maternal enzymes, maturational and mechanical forces, chorionicamniotic membrane phospholipid content, collagen disruption, amniotic cell cytokines induced by fetal signals, and bacterial phospholipases and collagenases all play major and interrelated roles.

The pathobiology of premature rupture of membranes

Seminars in Perinatology, 1996
Premature rupture of membranes arises from what are likely multifaceted and multistep pathogenic pathways. Pathophysiological processes may involve both endogenous and exogenous fetal and maternal factors. This article reviews and analyzes information regarding, first, the form and function of fetal membranes; second, how membranes physically fail ...

The Microbiology of Premature Rupture of the Membranes

Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1986
The foregoing discussions bring to mind several salient facts: Although numerous barriers to infection exist, this aspect is understood incompletely. Conclusions on the pathogenicity or nonpathogenicity of certain organisms are often made from studies with very small numbers of patients, or in very specific patient populations.

Management of premature rupture of membranes

Clinics in Perinatology, 2001
The management of patients with PROM, regardless of gestational age, remains controversial. Generally, when patients are in labor, have infection, or there is irreversible fetal distress, there are few options other than delivery. For those not in labor, especially in premature gestational ages, the complexities of the many combinations of decisions to
