Maternal infection in the context of actively managed prelabor rupture of membranes at term: An observational study

Key Points

• To evaluate the risk of maternal infection associated with latency following prelabor rupture of membranes at term.
• Conducted an observational study analyzing maternal infection rates after term PROM
• Focused on cases with latency periods exceeding 12 hours
• Evaluated management strategies and prophylactic measures
• Findings indicate a significant increase in maternal infection risk post-12 hour latency
• Supporting evidence for the need for active management in cases of term PROM
• Additional prophylactic measures may need evaluation for better outcomes
