Peculiarities of pregnancy and delivery, the state of newborns in case of premature rupture of membranes and preterm pregnancy

Abstract

The purpose of our research was to estimate the outcomes of pregnancies, complicated by premature rupture of membranes at 22-36 weeks’ gestation depending on the duration of the latency period. Retrospective, comparative and analytical research was conducted. The inclusion criteria were 117 women’s pregnancies, complicated by PPROM. The research shows complications of pregnancies, deliveries and the state of newborns depending on the duration of the latency period. The approach to the preterm pregnancy complicated by the premature rupture of membranes should be individualized. However, its prolongation more than 7 days should be strictly justified and be under doctor’s supervision.
