Abstract: ABSTRACT Background Preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM) is a common obstetric condition but outcomes can vary depending on gestation. Significant maternal and foetal complications occur including preterm birth, infection, abruption, cord prolapse, pulmonary hypoplasia… read more here.
