Objectives. The prevention of preterm birth is one of the highest priorities for international obstetric research. This study aimed to evaluate the maternal factors that may influence the pregnancy outcomes in order to assess the fetal outcomes. The main parameters analyzed were the variables newborn’s Apgar score at 1 minute and Apgar score at 5 minutes. Materials and method. This is designed to be a retrospective, observational and non-randomized study on a sample of 30 pregnant women with ruptured membranes, diagnosed and treated in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Bucharest University Emergency Hospital, Romania, between May 2021 and October 2021. We used two simple and multiple univariate linear regressions to achieve the main objective. The dependent variable used the APGAR score at 1 minute and the APGAR score at 5 minutes. Results. We obtained significant results regarding the impact of CRP, leukocytes count at admission, mode of delivery, presence of chorioamnionitis, funisitis, and male sex of the newborn on neonatal outcome. Conclusions. These results support further research in developing feasible multivariable prediction models in women with preterm rupture of membranes below 34 weeks of gestation. These models can help clinicians manage low- or high-risk pregnant women efficiently. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
