Abstract Background:Determination of the optimal timing for termination of pregnancy in cases of preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) during the extremely preterm period is still difficult. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a major disease widely taken into account when determining the prognosis of respiratory disorders in a neonate. Many aspects of this disease remain unclear. With the aim of further improving the prognosis of neonates born to mothers with pPROM, this study examined cases who were diagnosed with pPROM before 28 weeks of gestation. The study analysed risk factors for neonatal BPD and the optimal timing for termination of pregnancy in pPROM cases.Methods:Subjects were 73 cases of single pregnancy who were diagnosed with pPROM during the period from 22 weeks and 0 days to 27 weeks and 6 days of gestation. The following factors were retrospectively examined: the gestational week at which a diagnosis of pPROM was made; the gestational week at which delivery occurred; the period for which the volume of amniotic fluid was maintained; and neonatal BPD as a complication. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn in order to analyse the relationship between the duration of oligohydramnios and the onset of BPD.ResultsThe mean gestational week at which a diagnosis of amniorrhexis was made was 24.5 ± 1.9 weeks (mean ± SD), and that at which delivery occurred was 27.0 ± 3.0 weeks. Fifty-seven cases (78.1%) were diagnosed with oligohydramnios, the mean duration of which was 17.4 ± 20.5 days. The mean birth weight of neonates was 1000 ± 455 g, of which 49 (67.1%) were diagnosed with BPD following birth. No neonates died in this study. Multivariate analysis of various risk factors for the onset of BPD indicated that oligohydramnios is an independent risk factor for BPD. The ROC curve indicated that the cut-off value was 4 days. In this case, the levels of sensitivity and specificity for predicting the onset of neonatal BPD were 0.941 and 0.917 respectively.ConclusionOur findings suggest that oligohydramnios is an independent risk factor for BPD in cases who are diagnosed with pPROM before 28 weeks of gestation.

The study analysed risk factors for neonatal BPD and the optimal timing for termination of pregnancy in pPROM cases.Methods:Subjects were 73 cases of singleton pregnancy who were diagnosed with pPROM during the period from 22 weeks and 0 days to 27 weeks and 6 days of gestation. The following factors were retrospectively examined: the gestational week at which a diagnosis of pPROM was made; the gestational week at which delivery occurred; the period for which the volume of amniotic fluid was maintained; and neonatal BPD as a complication. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn in order to analyse the relationship between the duration of oligohydramnios and the onset of BPD.Results: The mean gestational week at which a diagnosis of amniorrhexis was made was 24.5±1.9 weeks (mean±SD), and that at which delivery occurred was 27.0±3.0 weeks. Fifty-seven cases (78.1%) were diagnosed with oligohydramnios, the mean duration of which was 17.4±20.5 days. The mean birth weight of neonates was 1000±455 g, of which 49 (67.1%) were diagnosed with BPD following birth. No neonates died in this study.

Background: The aim is to study the effect of antibiotics on inflammatory marker (IL-6) and perinatal outcomes in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).Methods: 60 women with PPROM at 28–34 weeks of gestation were enrolled in the study. All the women were given antibiotics as per hospital protocol and were subjected to blood sampling for Interleukin -6(IL-6) at admission, delivery and umbilical cord blood. IL-6 levels were assessed for associations with adverse perinatal outcomes and the effect of antibiotic treatment on IL-6 and perinatal outcomes were studied. The data were analyzed using t test and χ2 test.Results: Increased level of IL-6 was associated with chorioamnionitis and neonatal sepsis (p<0.001). High level of IL-6 led to early delivery and complete course of antibiotics suppressed IL-6 (p<0.001) and clinical chorioamnionitis in women with PROM. Full course of antibiotics also decreased the admission rate of babies to neonatal intensive care unit and suppressed respiratory distress syndrome, neonatal sepsis.Conclusions: Increased level of IL-6 is seen in women with chorioamnionitis and neonatal sepsis. Antibiotics suppress the IL-6 levels, chorioamnionitis and neonatal sepsis.

Abstract Objective: To identify the association between maternal and umbilical cord vitamin D levels with suspects of early-onset of neonatal sepsis (EONS) in newborns from mothers with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted from January 2017 to Augusts 2018. Data was taken consecutively from medical records and previous study data at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo and Persahabatan Hospital, Jakarta.Results: From total of 72 infants from mothers with PPROM, 22 infants (31%) were EONS-suspected and 50 infants (69%) were not EONS-suspected. There was a significant association between maternal and umbilical cord vitamin D levels with EONS.Conclusion: There was a significant association between maternal and umbilical cord vitamin D levels with EONS.Keywords: early-onset neonatal sepsis, preterm premature rupture of membrane, vitamin D,   Abstrak Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui hubungan antara kadar vitamin D maternal dan tali pusat dengan risiko tejadinya Sepsis Neonatal Awitan Dini (SNAD) pada bayi dari ibu dengan Ketuban Pecah Dini (KPD).Metode: Desain penelitian kohort retrospektif secara consecutive sampling. Data diambil dari rekam medis dan data penelitian sebelumnya di Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat Nasional (RSUPN) Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo dan Rumah Sakit Umum Pusat (RSUP) Persahabatan, Jakarta. Hasil:  Dari 72 bayi yang dilahirkan dari ibu dengan KPD, 22 bayi (31%) diantaranya diduga mengalami SNAD, sedangkan 50 bayi lainnya tidak mengalami SNAD. Terdapat hubungan yang bermakna antara kadar vitamin D maternal dan tali pusat dengan kejadian SNAD. Kesimpulan:Terdapathubungan yang bermakna antara kadar vitamin D maternal dan tali pusat dengan kejadian SNAD.Kata kunci: ketuban pecah dini,  sepsis neonatal awitan dini, vitamin D
