[The condition of premature newborns of patients hospitalized due to premature rupture of fetal membranes (PROM)].
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to compare the premature newborns' condition of patients hospitalized due to PROM with the group of premature newborns of patients with amniorrhexis at the time of labor.


METHODS
The studied group consisted of 74 newborns of 70 gravidas hospitalized in the Department of Pathological Pregnancy and the control group of 77 newborns of 70 patients. On analysing the investigated materials special attention was paid to: the time of PROM, the time and the way of pregnancy, the age of the, obstetrical history, the symptoms of intrauterine infection. In assessment of the newborns' condition the following factors were taken into consideration: characteristics of infection, Apgar scores, birth weight, respiratory disorders and other newborns' diseases.


RESULTS
Theoretic risk of sepsis was higher in study than in control group (p = 0.00). The sepsis occurrence was comparable in both groups (7 vs 8). The infection occurred more frequently in study group.


CONCLUSIONS
1. The newborn condition depends on the week of pregnancy termination, with better prognosis for longer pregnancies and with no differences between both groups 2. In spite of statistically important risk of sepsis occurrence in study group, the real occurrence was comparable in both groups 3. There is a statistically important difference between CRP and 5' Apgar score in study group. 4. Percentiles of birthweight and birthlength appropriate for gestational age were comparable between both groups.
