ORACLE—antibiotics for preterm prelabour rupture of the membranes: short‐term and long‐term outcomes

Indications of short‐term respiratory function, chronic lung disease and major neonatal cerebral abnormality were reduced with the prescription of erythromycin, and the use of co‐amoxiclav was associated with a significant increase in the occurrence of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis.

Antibiotic therapy for preterm premature rupture of membranes – results of a multicenter study

Antibiotic administration following preterm premature rupture of membranes is associated with a prolongation of pregnancy and a reduction of neonatal infectious morbidity.

Antibiotics for preterm premature rupture of membranes.

The use of antibiotics following preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (pPROM) is associated with a statistically significant reduction in maternal infection after delivery prior to discharge and there are fewer data relating to specific antibiotics.

Clinical course of preterm prelabor rupture of membranes in the era of prophylactic antibiotics

Latency period of PPROM after using prophylactic antibiotics and antenatal corticosteroids increased while neonatal infectious morbidity was low, but maternal infectious morbidities was not increased.

Preterm premature rupture of the membranes at 22 weeks: problem-based approach

The aim would be to prolong pregnancy through conservative management to achieve maximum fetal maturity prior to delivery without the onset of chorioamnionitis or neonatal sepsis.

Antibiotics for preterm rupture of membranes.

Routine prescription of antibiotics for women with preterm rupture of the membranes is associated with prolongation of pregnancy and improvements in a number of short-term neonatal morbidities, but no significant reduction in perinatal mortality.

Evidence-based Prevention of Preterm Birth and Rupture of Membranes: Infection and Inflammation

Case-control study of antenatal and intrapartum risk factors for cerebral palsy in very preterm singleton babies

Fetal exposure to an intra-amniotic inflammation and the development of cerebral palsy at the age of three years.

Antenatal exposure to intra-amniotic inflammation and evidence of a systemic fetal inflammatory response (funisitis) are strong and independent risk factors for the subsequent development of cerebral palsy at the age of 3 years.

Maternal infection and cerebral palsy in infants of normal birth weight.

Intrauterine exposure to maternal infection was associated with a marked increase in risk of CP in infants of normal birth weight and was linked with low Apgar scores, other evidence of hypotension [corrected] and need for resuscitation, and neonatal seizures-signs commonly attributed to birth asphyxia.

Structural characteristics of term human fetal membranes prior to labour: identification of an area of altered morphology overlying the cervix.

regional differences have two important implications in that: (i) the cervical membrane may represent a region of structural weakness susceptible to rupture during labour, and (ii) the paracrine relationships between fetal membranes and the myometrium may be qualitatively affected within different regions of the uterus.

Premature Rupture of the Membranes

This review provides a summary and commentary on recent works on management of PROM, which remains a major dilemma within the last decade.

The strong relationship between preterm delivery before 30 weeks gestation and infection offers the possibility of a unifying hypothesis connecting both delivery and brain injury, but at present the data to support a role for intrauterine infection in human cerebral damage are largely circumstantial and to some degree inconsistent.

PATHOGENESIS OF NEONATAL NECROTISING ENTEROCOLITIS

Predictors of low and very low birth weight and the relation of these to cerebral palsy.

Of the major predictors of low birth weight, only prolonged rupture of membranes, chorionitis, and congenital malformations contributed to the risk of cerebral palsy beyond their contribution to therisk of low Birth weight.
