PROM is one of the common obstetric problem and cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Material and Methods: The study was done in OBG Dept BRIMS Hospital Bidar, Karnataka, India, where the number of deliveries during the study period were 7526. Result: There were 220 cases of PROM i.e. incidence of 2.9%. PROM was higher in rural areas, primigravida, common after 37 weeks and majority delivered by LSCS. Maternal morbidity was 16.35%,no maternal mortality. Neonatal morbidity was 5.45% and neonatal mortality was 0.9% and the cause being preterm and low birth weight.
