Abstract
Background: Preterm premature rupture of membrane (PPROM) is the spontaneous rupture of fetal membranes before the onset of labor and before 37 weeks of gestation. This prospective study was done to know the materno-fetal outcome in the same. It complicates 3% of all gestation and 30–40% of all preterm births. In a developing country like India, it is one of the most prominent causes of preterm births, low birth weight, and high perinatal deaths. Aims and Objectives: Materno-foetal outcomes of PPROM in women Key words: Preterm Premature Rupture of Membrane; Preterm Premature Rupture of Membrane Delivery Interval; Maternal Outcome; Fetal Outcome; Chorioamnionitis
