A retrospective study of mid‐trimester rupture of the membranes: Irish perspective from a tertiary unit following change of termination of pregnancy legislation
The major maternal morbidity rate in MTPPROM following liberalization of the termination legislation was 62% (54/87), with no maternal mortalities. The neonatal survival rate was 28.6% (26/91). There was a higher survival rate when diagnosis was over 20/40 gestation and deepest vertical pool >2 cm. Through the liberalization of TOP, the cases with poorer prognosis now have the option of ending their pregnancies.
