[Perinatal outcomes and duration of preterm premature rupture of membranes].
METHODS
30% preterm deliveries are the consequence of preterm premature rupture of membranes. The available data suggests lack of benefit of conservative management of preterm premature rupture of membranes.


OBJECTIVE
Our objective was to compare perinatal outcomes in regard to the duration of rupture of membranes and gestational ages.


METHODS
435 newborns delivered below 28 weeks of pregnancy, 28-32 weeks of pregnancy and above 32 weeks of pregnancy were studied.


RESULTS
There was no significant difference in the group of newborns delivered before 33 weeks of gestation.


CONCLUSIONS
The duration of rupture of membranes had significant on perinatal outcomes among neonates born after 33 weeks of gestation.
