Objective:  C-Reactive Proteins (CRP) is an important marker of Sub-clinical infection in cases of Premature Rupture of Membrane (PROM).The aim of present study was the evaluation of CRP from the patients attending in our hospital with premature rupture of membrane. Materials and Method: A total of 32 patients of Preterm, Premature rupture of membranes and 32 patients preterm with intact membranes as a control, between 28-36 weeks of gestation were included in the study. Results: The Sensitivity and specificity of CRP determination was found to be 78.12% each as an early predictor of subclinical chorioamnionitis. TLC had a low sensitivity of 22% and specificity of 65% in detecting histological chorioamnionitis (HCA). Conclusion: CRP estimation is a simple, reliable, quite affordable and reasonably marker for the detection of early chorioamnionitis. Keywords: PROM, CRP, Chorioamnionitis, Sensitivity, Specificity

Background: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) predisposes the mother for chorioamnionitis, endometritis, bacteremia and neonate to preterm delivery related complication. There is often dilemma regarding the management of PPROM in mothers with gestational age (GA) <34 weeks.Methods: A retrospective cohort study conducted in a tertiary care hospital over two year period. Neonates delivered before 34 weeks were enrolled and categorized into active management (AM) and expectant management (EM) group. Associated risk factors, duration of PPROM and latency period, Neonatal outcomes like sepsis, morbidity, duration of respiratory support, duration of NICU stay compared between groups.Results: Out of total 197 cases, AM group had 91 babies. Active management resulted in earlier delivery [mean GA (SD): 30.88(1.8) VS 31(2.1) weeks], higher number of caesarian section (76.9% versus 53.8%), lesser birth weight {1233.6 (±282.9) versus 1453.39 (±380.6) gm} and more ELBW babies (23.1% versus 7.5%). EM resulted in significantly higher antenatal steroid cover (73.6% in AM versus 89.6% in EM) and lesser need of surfactant for RDS [42.9% versus 28.3%]. Significant difference was found for NICU stay days {mean (SD): 25.46 (16.8) versus 20.94 (17.5)}. No difference found between respiratory support days [median (IQR) 2 (0, 6) versus 2 (0, 7)]. No significant differences found in incidence of maternal chorioamnionitis, NEC, sepsis, BPD and ROP. Early delivery resulted in higher mortality though that was statistically not significant.Conclusions: Gestational age at delivery is more important predictor of neonatal outcome then PPROM in early preterm.

Background: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) occurs in 3%to6% of pregnancies and is responsible for approximately one third of all preterm births. Aims & Objective: of present study was to analyse the maternal and perinatal outcome of PPROM patients between 28 to 36 weeks +6days admitted in labour room of obs and gynae dept. of DMCH from January 2019 to April 2020. Material and Methods: It is hospital based prospective observational study of 100 patients of preterm premature rupture of membranes in between 28-36 weeks+6 days gestation with singleton pregnancy admitted in our tertiary care centre (Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, DMCH, Laheriasarai, Bihar). Results: In this study 42% patients went into spontaneous labour and 58% needed induction or augmentation. 68% patients had vaginal delivery and 23% required LSCS. The main indications for LSCS being malpresentation (26%) followed by foetal distress (22%). There was no maternal mortality; morbidity was found in 15% patients. Perinatal morbidity was seen in 40% and was mainly due to RDS, sepsis andhyperbilirubinaemia . Perinatal mortality was seen in 17% and was due to sepsis in 29.4%, RDS in 52.94% and birth asphyxia in 17.6%. Conclusion: PPROM is one of the important causes of preterm birth that can result in high perinatal morbidity & mortality along with maternal morbidity. Looking after a premature infant puts immense burden on the family, economy and health care resources of the country. Therefore management of PPROM requires accurate diagnosis and evaluation of the risks and benets of continued pregnancy or expeditious delivery. An understanding of gestational age dependent neonatal morbidity and mortality is important in determining the potential benets of conservative management of preterm PROM at any gestation

Background- The global burden of premature babies is mostly contributed by preterm births. Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) account for nearly 40% of all preterm deliveries. Objective-The study was done to evaluate the clinic-bacteriological prole and the obstetric outcome in pregnancies complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes. Material and methods-This was a prospective cohort study of cases of PPROM admitted in the teaching hospital which is a major referral tertiary care centre. A total of 64 women were enrolled. We studied the patient demographics, bacterial prole and obstetric outcome in these women. Results-Most of the cases of PPROM were seen in low risk primigravidae. Infections were the commonest cause for PPROM. Enterococcus Faecalis was the most commonly isolated organism. The mean latent period was 3-7 days. Most women delivered vaginally. Respiratory distress and low birth weight with Apgar <6 were the common indications for NICU admission. Co-relation between TLC and hs-CRP levels was not statistically signicant across different groups. Conclusion- Effective screening for cervico-vaginal infections in pregnancy and appropriate antibiotic therapy will help reduce infection related feto-maternal morbidity and mortality. Lesser gestational ages are associated with poorer outcome.

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.

Background: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) remains a subject of great clinical relevance. The present study was conducted to study maternal morbidity and its relationship with PROM-delivery interval in patients with term PROM as compared to patients without PROM.Methods: A prospective case control study was conducted in the department of obstetrics and gynecology, Kasturba Hospital, New Delhi. 100 pregnant patients presenting to the labor room with features of PROM at term (POG>37 weeks) were taken as cases and 100 term pregnant women (age and parity matched) with intact membranes were taken as controls and compared in terms of maternal outcome.Results: This study reported maternal morbidity rate of 21% in term PROM cases which was significantly higher than in control group (5%). The major cause was febrile morbidity which occurred in 16% of cases indicating ascending infection. Other complications were abdominal and episiotomy wound infection (4%), chorioamnionitis (2%), postpartum hemorrhage (2%) and puerperal sepsis (1%). There was an increased rate of operative delivery in the case group (33%) as compared to 18% in patients without PROM. Duration of PROM-delivery interval had a significant direct proportional impact on the maternal morbidity. The duration of combined hospital stay of mother and neonate was also increased.Conclusions: Patients with term PROM have significant maternal morbidity which was mainly due to infection. The duration of the hospital stay was also significantly increased.
