Previable preterm premature rupture of membranes (before 24 weeks gestation): Pregnancy and neonatal outcomes

Key Points

• Pregnancy outcomes are notably affected by preterm premature rupture of membranes before 24 weeks gestation, requiring careful management.
• Neonatal outcomes indicate increased risk linked to gestational age and timing of the rupture, with survival rates varying end-of-pregnancy.
• Assessment involves a retrospective review of cases involving preterm premature rupture of membranes under 24 weeks gestation, highlighting outcome variations.
• Findings may enable better guidelines for handling previable preterm premature rupture of membranes and improving neonatal care.
