Predictors of Short‐Term and Long‐Term Latency After Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Key Points

The aim is to identify factors predicting the latency period after preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).
Retrospective cohort study design
Analyzed gestational age at admission
Assessed glucose tolerance status
Examined cervical dilation upon admission
Longer latency is associated with lower gestational age
Normal glucose tolerance correlates with extended latency
Cervical dilation of <2 cm leads to longer latency compared to ≥ 2 cm dilation

Abstract

Obstetricians can expect longer latency period when PPROM cases are admitted at lower gestational age, having normal glucose tolerance status, and cervical dilation of <2 cm vs. ≥ 2 cm dilatation at admission.
