Background: Premature rupture of membranes is defined as rupture of foetal membranes before the onset of labour. Management of cases of PROM still remains as one of the most difficult and controversial problems in obstetrics. PROM can cause maternal complications like chorioamnionitis, increased operative procedures, puerperal sepsis and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The present study is undertaken to study the labour outcome, maternal morbidity and perinatal morbidity and mortality in term PROM.Methods: 200 Cases of spontaneous rupture of membranes with gestational age >37 weeks with confirmed PROM by a speculum examination were selected. A detailed history was taken, and gestational age confirmed, general, systemic and obstetric examinations were done. Parameters of maternal and foetal well being were recorded. All study groups received prophylactic antibiotics. Single pelvic examination done, and maternal vitals recorded fourth hourly. All the data was analyzed and statistical significance was calculated using Chi-square test.Results: PROM was common in age group of 20-24 years (35%) with mean age of 22.6 years and SD of 2.8 years, and common in primigravida. Majority of women were admitted within six hours of PROM (41.5%) and Mean duration of induction to delivery interval was 12.9 hours. The mean duration between PROM to delivery was 20.2 hours which was statistically significant. Cesarean sections were more among primigravidas. Failure to progress was the common indication. Maternal morbidity was significant (17.5%). No maternal mortality in the study. Perinatal mortality was 1.5%. Birth asphyxia was the commonest cause. Perinatal morbidity was seen in 26%. Escherichia coli was common organism found in cervical swab culture.Conclusions: In present study, majority was primigravidas and the most common age group was 20-24 years belonging to low socioeconomic status. Maternal morbidity and neonatal morbidity was associated with increased duration of PROM to delivery and infection of the female genital tract with pathogens. Hence an appropriate and accurate diagnosis of PROM is essential for favorable outcome in pregnancy.

Premature rupture of membranes can cause various complications such as infection, prolonged parturition, postpartum hemorrhage, maternal morbidity and mortality, while in the fetus PROM can cause premature birth, decreased umbilical cord, hypoxia and secondary asphyxia. Based on the data taken at Batam city, the highest number of PROM cases from 3 hospitals was 546 cases, Harapan Bunda’s Hospital. This study aims to determine relationship Parity with premature rupture of membranes at Harapan Bunda Hospital Batam City. This research used method quantitative analitic survey with cross sectional design with 60 samples. The Conclusion the results obtained were there is relationship parity with premature rupture of membranes (p value = 0,001). Suggestions to clients and community to increase their knowledge about the cause PROM so that they can prevent or detect early complications that will occur in the future.

Background: This is an observational analytical study carried out in department of obstetrics and Gynecology, in a tertiary care center to determine the factors influencing fetal and maternal outcome, prognosis and complications in preterm premature rupture of membrane cases.Methods: The present study is a prospective observational study of perinatal and maternal outcome in 100 cases of preterm premature rupture of membranes in between 2837 weeks gestation with singleton pregnancy, from 1st March 2013 to 28th February 2014. Patients with medical complications like anemia, preexisting hypertension, diabetes, vascular or renal disease, multiple gestations, uterine or fetal anomalies etc. are excluded from the study. Detailed history, physical examinations were carried out and appropriate management instituted as per individual patients need.Results: In this study maternal morbidity was 16%. Perinatal morbidity was 33% and most common causes were hyperbilirubinemia (23%), RDS (21%).  Perinatal mortality was seen in 15% and mainly due to RDS (53%). Twenty-five (25%) neonates were delivered by cesarean. The main indications for cesarean being malpresentation (36%) followed by fetal distress (24%).Conclusions: PPROM is one of the important causes of preterm birth that can result in high perinatal morbidity and mortality along with maternal morbidity. Looking after a premature infant puts immense burden on the family, economy and health care resources of the country. An understanding of gestational age dependent neonatal morbidity and mortality is important in determining the potential benefits of conservative management of preterm PROM at any gestation.

As the article by Pryles, et al. entitled "A Controlled Study of the Influence on the Newborn of Prolonged Premature Rupture of the Amniotic Membranes and/or Infection in the Mother," Pediatrics, Vol. 31, pp. 608-622, has not yet received comment in your journal, perhaps it is not too late to ask the authors to fill three hiati which I felt existed in their presentation of this excellent study. As antibiotics apparently were used (according to Table X) in some infants prior to the diagnosis of clinical sepsis, what were the comparative morbidity and mortality results in this group versus the group in which treatment was deferred until the diagnosis of clinical sepsis could be made?
