Schwangerschaftsverlauf und kindliches Befinden nach vorzeitigem Blasensprung vor 25 Schwangerschaftswochen - Maternal and Perinatal Outcome after Preterm Premature Rupture of the Membranes (PPROM) before 25 Weeks' Gestation

Purpose: Evaluation of maternal and perinatal outcome in consecutive gestants with PPROM II°) (31 vs 17%), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (42 vs. 24%) and connatal sepsis (46 vs. 26%) when compared to infants without PPROM (p > 0,05, Fisher's exact test). Conclusion: In spite of PPROM in midtrimester prolongation until 24 weeks' gestation is possible in more than 50%. The neonatal outcome mainly depends on prematurity. This current data can be used for counselling women suffered by PPROM < 25 weeks.
