Outpatient versus inpatient care for preterm premature rupture of membranes before 34 weeks of gestation.

ABSTRACT: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is associated with an increased risk of serious maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidities. We compared neonatal outcomes of women with PPROM before 34⁺⁰ weeks of gestation according to inpatient or outpatient management policy. 587 women with PPROM >48 hours, 246 (41.9%) in the group with an inpatient care policy (ICP) and 341 (58.1%) in the group with an outpatient care policy (OCP), were identified in France, from 2009 to 2012.

The outcome was a neonatal composite variable including one or more of the ne
