Abstract

Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the maternal and neonatal outcome in premature rupture of membranes.

Material and Methods: A prospective study was carried out in the department of Obstetrics &Gynae in Ibn Sina Medical College hospital from October’15 to September’16. The sample size was 110. The maternal and neonatal outcome of pre-labour rupture of membranes in both term and preterm pregnancies was observed and statistically analyzed.

Results: Incidence of PROM (premature rupture of membrane) was commonly in primigravida (62.7%). Term PROM was higher (70.92%) than PPROM (29.09%). Aetiological analysis revealed cause is unknown in most of the cases. Infection in 26.4% cases, previous history of PROM 16.3% and history of recent coitus 9.09% cases. Patient delivered by vaginal route 70.91% and LSCS 29.09%. The PROM had higher maternal morbidity (27.8%) like post partum fever 11.8%, wound infection 4.5% and chorioamnionitis 3.6%. Also higher perinatal mortality (4.5%) and morbidity (26.4%) like respiratory distress syndrome 9.09%, birth asphyxia 4.5%, septicemia 5.8%.

Conclusion: Antenatal diagnosis to prevent PROM by identifying the risk factors is an important tool in management. Steroid for fetal lung maturity, antibiotics to prevent fetal and maternal infection, induction and/or augmentation of labour in due time and skilled NICU support will speed delivery, reduce hospital stay and infection as well as decrease maternal morbidity and perinatal morbidity and mortality.
