Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Introduction: Prelabour rupture of membranes is the most challenging and controversial obstetric dilemma which occurs even in low risk pregnancies and can convert a traditional pregnancy into a high risk situation for both mother and fetus. As prelabour rupture of membranes is an obstetric condition associated with significant perinatal morbidity and mortality, so the purpose of this study is to analyze the perinatal outcome in prelabour rupture of membranes. Methods: This observational study was conducted in department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, in a tertiary care institute located in central India, over a period of 12 months.125 patients who were diagnosed with PROM were studied in terms of increased perinatal morbidity and mortality. Data was studied and statistically analyzed. Results: Perinatal morbidity was seen in 28.8% of cases in which clinical early onset neonatal infection was the commonest cause(12%) followed by Respiratory distress(8%).No perinatal mortality was seen in the study. Conclusions: Major impact of PROM was found to be increased perinatal morbidity (28.8%). Neonatal morbidity was seen to be increased due to clinical early onset neonatal infection followed by respiratory distress.
