MIYAZAKI K et al. –This retrospective study assess the neonatal and maternal outcomes of pregnancy complicated by previable preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).Aggressive intervention with antibiotics, amnioinfusion, cerclage and tocolysis for women with previable PPROM resulted in a high neonatal survival rate. Neonatal survival was associated with higher gestational age at delivery and with more frequent use of antenatal corticosteroids. The prognosis is still bad in PPROM before 22+0 weeks of gestation.
