Abstract
Fetomaternal outcome was studied in 200 women (100 in the gestational age 28-33+6 weeks and 100 in gestational age 34-36+6 weeks) who were admitted with complains of leaking per vagina. Leaking was confirmed with sterile speculum examination and fern test. A high vaginal swab was taken at admission along with administration of antibiotics and betamethasone. Women in early PPROM group were managed conservatively in obstetrical ward and monitored for signs and symptoms of chorioamnionitis and fetal distress and women in late PPROM were induced after group B streptococcal prophylaxis. Fetomaternal outcome was studied and results were analysed with required statistical tests
