Title

NEONATAL COMPLICATIONS OF PREMATURE RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES

Pages

  175-179

Abstract

 PREMATURE RUPTURE OF MEMBRANES (PROM) is one of the most common complications of pregnancy that has a major impact on neonatal outcomes. With respect to racial, nutritional and cultural differences between developed and developing countries, this study was conducted to detect the prevalence of NEONATAL COMPLICATIONS.following PROM and the role of the duration of rupture of membranes in producing morbidities and mortalities in these neonates in our hospital. Among 2357 pregnant women, we found 163 (6.91%) cases of premature rupture of the fetal membranes in Tehran Vali-e-Asr Hospital during April 2001 to April 2002. Route of delivery was cesarean section in 65.6% of women. Urinary tract infection occurred in 1.8%, maternal leukocytosis and fever in 20.2% and 5.5%, chorioamnionitis in 6.1%, fetal tachycardia in 1.2% and olygohydramnios in 4.9%. Gestational age in 138 (86%) of neonates was less than 37 completed weeks. Thirty five infants (21.47%) had respiratory distress syndrome and 33 (20.245%) had clinical sepsis. Pneumonia in 6 (3.7%) and skeletal deformity in 7 (4.294%) were seen. Rupture of membrane of more than 24 hours duration occurred in 71 (43.6%) of the patients. Comparison of morbidities between two groups of neonates and their mothers according to the duration of PROM (less and more than 24 hours ) showed significant differences in NICU admission, olygohydramnios, maternal fever, leukocytosis and chorioamnionitis rates (p<0.05). The risks of pneumonia and mortality were much higher in group with >24 hr of PROM with an odds ratio of 2.68 and 2.73, respectively. Positive blood and eye cultures were detected in 16 cases during 72 hours of age. Staphylococcus species, klebsiella, E.coli and streptococcus were the predominant organisms among positive blood cultures. Mortality was seen in 18 (11%) of neonates because of respiratory failure, disseminated intravascular coagulation, septic shock, and a single case of congenital toxoplasmosis. In this study, the prevalence of prematurity, sepsis and prolonged rupture of membrane were higher than previous studies.
