Neonatal outcome in women with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) between 18 and 26 weeks

Abstract

PPROM before 26 weeks has a high morbidity and mortality, and the significant predictors of neonatal mortality and adverse outcomes were antibiotic prophylaxis, latency period, GA at birth and birth weight. Nevertheless, the only independent significant predictor of survival rate was birth weight.
