Prevalence of Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes and Its Correlated Risk Factors among Pregnant Women Attending Women Health Hospital, Assiut University, Egypt
Abstract
Background: Preterm premature rupture of the membrane (PPROM) is an ongoing obstetric issue and presents many interesting research questions. The aim of the current study is to determine the prevalence and correlated risk factors of preterm premature rupture of membranes among pregnant women. And assess the relationships between risk factors and the occurrence of preterm premature rupture of the membrane. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional research design was adopted. A purposive sample of 100 pregnant women, diagnosed with PPROM and admitted to the labour and delivery room at Women Health Hospital, Assiut University, during the year 2023 was recruited. Two tools were used to collect the current data: 1) Structured Questionnaire and 2) Risk Factors for Preterm Premature Rupture Membrane Assessment Tool. Results: Findings revealed that the mean maternal age was 30.07 ± 5.918. The prevalence of PPROM was 1.85%. There was a statistically significant difference between maternal age, residence, BMI, occupational level, gravidity, parity, gestational age, number of abortions, previous history of PROM, previous mode of delivery, and occurrence of PPROM. Conclusion: The prevalence of PPROM was 1.85%. The risk factors for the occurrence of PPROM were gravidity, parity, gestational age, abortions, and a previous mode of delivery. Recommendation: Enhancing the awareness of maternity nurses and midwives about the importance of assessment and early detection of PPROM as part of routine care for all pregnant women can help reduce its incidence and associated complications.
