A Study of Perinatal Outcome in Premature Rupture of Membrane
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Abstract: The objective is to assess the perinatal outcome in patients with PROM. Material and method: 40 pregnant women, between 20 to 41 weeks of gestation, with complaint of leaking p/v with positive pooling, nitrazine test and fern test were included in the study group. The control group comprised of 40 pregnant women between 20 to 41 weeks of gestation without any complains. All patients underwent USG examination for AFI calculation followed by comparison of perinatal outcomes between the two groups. Results: 92.5% women with PROM were between 32 to 36 weeks of gestation. Latency period increases as the gestational age of the women with PROM decreases. 6 neonates, from the study group were admitted to NICU, out of which one died due to prematurity, birth asphyxia and infections. Patients with PROM had significantly lower AFI and poorer perinatal outcome. Conclusion: PROM is associated with poorer neonatal outcome. Prompt diagnosis and management of PROM may improve neonatal outcome in women with PROM. Keywords:PROM, neonatal outcome, prematurity, AFI, ultrasound examination
