Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes, Intrauterine Infection, and Oligohydramnios

Abstract

Women presenting with preterm PROM are at increased risk of developing abruption, with the risk being higher either in the presence of intrauterine infections or oligohydramnios. Physicians managing patients with preterm PROM should be aware that these patients are at increased risk of developing abruption after 24 hours following preterm PROM.
