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
