Relationship Between Clinical and Laboratory Parameters at Admission and Pregnancy Outcomes in Cases of Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes

Abstract Background: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is a significant complication in pregnancy, often associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Understanding the relationship between clinical and laboratory parameters at admission and pregnancy outcomes in PPROM cases is essential for effective management and intervention. Methods The study was conducted retrospectively to examine the relationship between clinical and laboratory parameters at the time of admission and the latent period in pregnant women with PPROM. Records of pregnant women diagnosed with PPROM between 2015-2017 in the obstetrics department of a university hospital were reviewed. The patients were grouped according to gestational weeks, clinical parameters at admission were recorded, and their relationships with the latent period were analyzed. Results When the data obtained in the study were analyzed, it was shown that cervical length (p = 0.008) and the gestational week at the time of admission had an effect on the latent period (p
