Abstract:: OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcome of singleton pregnancies after non-amniocentesis-induced premature rupture of membranes (PROM) at 14 to 23 weeks' gestation. STUDY DESIGN: We reviewed the hospital records of 53 consecutive pregnant women with PROM at 14 to 23 weeks' gestation at our institution from 1991 to 1996; the pregnancies were not associated with amniocentesis or multiple gestation. RESULTS: The median interval between PROM and delivery was 1 day (range 0-90; mean 5.2 days). Fifty-two (98%) of the 53 neonates were stillborn or died within 4 days. One neonate (2%), a 720-gram male delivered vaginally at 23 weeks' gestation, survived. The infant had Apgar scores of 6 at 1 minute and 2 at 5 minutes, and showed normal physical and neurological development at age 5 months. CONCLUSION: The outcome of pregnancies with non-amniocentesis-induced PROM at 14 to 23 weeks' gestation is almost uniformly poor.
