| Summary: | Aim of the Study: To determine the impact of fetal presentation
on pregnancy outcome in preterm premature rupture of
membranes (PPROM)
Study Design: Retrospective.
Materials and Methods: Fifty eight PPROM patients (gestational
age of 24-34 wk, complicated by PPROM and latency more than
24 h) between January 2008 to December 2012 were categorized
into cephalic and non cephalic and pregnancy outcome were
analyzed with standard statistical methods including the Chisquare test, t- test and Mann Whitney test.
Results: The non cephalic (20.7%, 12/58) and cephalic group
(79.3%, 46/58) among the 58 patients with PPROM were
demographically homogenous. PPROM was significantly
earlier in non cephalic group although latency was not much
different in both groups. Maternal complications (abruption,
chorioamnionitis and post operative wound infection) as a
composite were more in non cephalic group. Neonatal death
was also significantly more in non cephalic than cephalic.
Conclusion: Non cephalic presentation at diagnosis of PPROM
is likely to have an unfavorable effect on the maternal and fetal
outcome. |
