Abstract
Preterm rupture of the membranes is a violation of the membranes of the fetus and effusion of amniotic fluid prior to the onset of labor, regardless of the gestational age. The frequency of this pathology is about 2-3% among all pregnancies and 30–50% among preterm births. In the structure of preterm labor, the frequency of preterm rupture of the membranes is 30–50%.
Pregnancy and premature labor, that are complicated by preterm rupture of membranes, increase the frequency of maternal (chorioamnionitis, placental abruption), and neonatal complications (intrauterine infection, necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage), compared with premature birth with equal gestational age, but without preterm rupture of membranes. This allows to be sure, that premature labor with preterm rupture of the membranes and without preterm rupture of the membranes should be considered as separate clinical groups.
Keywords: pregnancy, preterm rupture of membranes, premature labor.
