dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to assess outcomes of expectant management for early preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). This retrospective cohort involved 66 women with PPROM <28 weeks managed in a single hospital (1999-2006). Main outcomes were chorioamnionitis, severe maternal morbidity (maternal sepsis, haemorrhage/blood transfusion, hysterectomy or admission to intensive care unit), maternal mortality, low birth weight, preterm birth, neonatal infection and perinatal mortality. Mean gestational ages at PPROM and delivery were 21.7 +/- 4.2 and 28.4 +/- 5.9 weeks, respectively. Chorioamnionitis was diagnosed in 47%; no cases of severe maternal morbidity or mortality occurred. Stillbirth rate was 25.7% and >80% of infants were delivered before 34 weeks. Neonatal infection was diagnosed in 42.9% of the 49 live-births. Overall survival rate was 57.6%. Expectant management of PPROM <28 weeks resulted in high rates of chorioamnionitis and preterm deliveries but in over half of the cases, a live infant was discharged home. | en |
