Perinatal Outcomes of Pregnant Women with Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes in Our Clinic

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess perinatal outcomes of pregnant women who had been admitted to our clinic with the diagnosis of preterm premature rupture of membranes.The study was performed retrospectively on 90 pregnant women who were admitted to and gave birth at the Deparment of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Uludag University Faculty of Medicine, with the diagnosis of preterm premature rupture of membranes. Cases who were enrolled in the study were divided into two groups according to gestational age: women whose gestational ages are between 27 and 34 weeks, and less than and equal to 26 weeks. Complications, frequency of chorioamnionitis, incidence of neonatal morbidity and mortality were assessed. Group 1 and Group 2 included 69(%76,7) and 21 (%23,3) cases, respectively. Antibiotherapy had been used in all study population. While, respectively, 48 (%53,3) and 61(%67,8) women received tocolytic therapy and antenatal corticotherapy, 42(%46,7) and 29 (%32,2) did not. 33(%36,6) neonates needed surfactant therapy. Of 33 neonates, 17(%24,6) were in first group and 16(%76,2) were in second group. Mean gestational age and birth weights were 31,86 and 24,88 weeks, and 1804(±663,4 ) and 805(±55,84) grams in Group 1 and 2, respectiely. Duration of supplemental oxygen was 21,49(±0,91) days in Group 1 and 71,60(±14,81) days in Group 2. Length of hospital stay was 35,77 (±3.57) and 93.65(±15.38) days, respectively. 6 neonates (%8,7) in Group 1 and 5 neonates (%23.8) in Group 2 experienced necroziting enterocolitis (NEC). While incidence of bronchopulmonary dyplasia (BPD) was 10(%14,4) in Group 1, the rate was % 19,04 in Group 2. Rate of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was % 4,3 and % 14,3 in Group 1 and Group 2. Grade III-IV intraventricular hemorrhage was more common in Group 2 compared to Group 1; %4.3 in Group 1 and %14.3 in Group 2. In conclusion, it is suggested that the preterm premature rupture of membranes is one of the most important obstetric problems, with negative influences on perinatal outcomes.
