The article highlights a landmark paper from 1992 addressing the management of women with prelabor rupture of membranes at term. The article reviews the paper in detail, highlights similar and relevant subsequent studies, and addresses up-to-date guidelines. The study compared the outcomes of 5041 with prelabor rupture of membranes at term. Women were either induced with oxytocin or vaginal prostaglandin or expectant management with subsequent induction as indicated. In women with prelabor rupture of the membranes at term, induction of labor with oxytocin or prostaglandin E2 and expectant management result in similar rates of neonatal infection and cesarean section. Induction of labor with intravenous oxytocin results in a lower risk of maternal infection than does expectant management. Women view induction of labor more positively than expectant management.

Abstract Objective To describe our hospital's experience following expectant management of previable preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (pPPROM). Study Design Retrospective review of neonatal survival and maternal and neonatal outcomes of pPPROM cases between 2012 and 2019 at a tertiary referral center in South Central Louisiana. Regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of neonatal survival. Results Of 81 cases of pPPROM prior to 23 weeks gestational age (WGA), 23 survived to neonatal intensive care unit discharge (28.3%) with gestational age at rupture ranging from 180/7 to 226/7 WGA. Increased latency (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 1.30, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.11, 1.52) and increased gestational age at rupture (aOR = 1.62, 95% CI = 1.19, 2.21) increased the probability of neonatal survival. Antibiotics prior to delivery were associated with increased latency duration (adjusted hazard ratio = 0.55, 95% CI = 0.42, 0.74). Conclusion Neonatal survival rate following pPPROM was 28.3%. Later gestational age at membrane rupture and increased latency periods are associated with increased neonatal survivability. Antibiotic administration following pPPROM increased latency duration.
