Antibiotics for preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) have been shown to prolong the length of pregnancy as well as improve neonatal outcomes as demonstrated by the landmark article by Mercer et al. PPROM complicates 3% of all pregnancies, and approximately one-half of patients will deliver within 1 week of membrane rupture. Infection is thought to play a role in both the etiology of PPROM and subsequent maternal and neonatal complications. Premature birth further complicates neonatal outcomes, therefore prolongation of pregnancy after PPROM is essential for risk reduction. Administration of broad spectrum antibiotics have been associated with prolonged latency in women with PPROM at less than 32 weeks and 0 days of gestation as well as improved neonatal outcomes.

Abstract Aims This is an official guideline of the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics (DGGG), the Austrian Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics (ÖGGG) and the Swiss Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics (SGGG). The aim of this guideline is to improve the prediction, prevention and management of preterm birth based on evidence obtained from recently published scientific literature, the experience of the members of the guideline commission and the views of self-help groups. Methods The members of the participating medical societies and organizations developed Recommendations and Statements based on the international literature. The Recommendations and Statements were adopted following a formal consensus process (structured consensus conference with neutral moderation, voting done in writing using the Delphi method to achieve consensus). Recommendations Part 2 of this short version of the guideline presents Statements and Recommendations on the tertiary prevention of preterm birth and the management of preterm premature rupture of membranes.
