ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment strategies in preterm premature rupture of membranes.Methods The clinical data of 730 cases with preterm premature rupture of membranes from January 2005 to December 2009 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.The characteristics and perinatal outcomes were summarized.Results The incidence rate of preterm premature rupture of membranes was 2.68 %.The relative factors developing preterm premature rupture of membranes were in turn infection,high tension of uterus and abnormal fetal position.The perinatal complications were mainly preterm,fetal distress and RDS.The perinatal outcomes were directly related to the gestational weeks.Conclusion According to the relative factors leading to preterm premature rupture of membranes,adopting the relative clinical treatment,strengthening the gestational health and comprehensive treatment may reduce the morbidity of maternal and newborn and improve the prognosis of preterm neonates.
