Different azithromycin protocols for management of preterm prelabour rupture of membranes: a randomized clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Preterm prelabor rupture of membranes is associated with polymicrobial infection; hence broad-spectrum antibiotics are recommended. Nowadays, Azithromycin is used instead of Erythromycin due to erythromycin shortages, its ease of administration, decreased cost, and better side effect profile. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of different azithromycin protocols for the conservative management of preterm prelabor rupture of membranes.

Methods

It was a single-blinded randomized clinical trial including pregnant women at 24-36⁺⁶ weeks with viable singleton pregnancies and confirmed preterm prelabor rupture of membranes from January 01, 2020, to June 01, 2021. The participants were randomized into two groups: Group I was made of women who received A
