Abstract
:
Objective: To compare the outcomes of expectant versus active management of patients presenting with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) at term. Design: Observational case-control study over a period of 30 months. Setting: King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Subjects: All obstetric patients with no obstetric risk factors other than PROM at term were included in the present study. Each patient was matched with a control case who had started labor with intact membranes. Outcome Measures: Duration of labor, fetal distress, intrapartum pyrexia, rate of cesarean section delivery, and Apgar scores at birth. Conclusion: In the absence of other maternal and/or obstetric risk factors, PROM does not seen to constitute additional obstetric risks. Furthermore, expectant management of PROM in anticipation of spontaneous uterine contractions increased the changes of normal delivery without and increase in fetal and/or maternal morbidity
