In June 2023, the Supreme Court declared that there was no longer a right to abortion under the federal constitution. This decision has allowed states to promulgate different restrictions on abortion, many of which implicate the practice of emergency medicine. An abortion is defined as a "medical intervention provided to individuals who need to end the medical condition of pregnancy" and includes care such as termination of an ectopic pregnancy and induction of labor for previable preterm premature rupture of membranes-interventions that emergency physicians either perform or rely on the assistance of consultants to perform...

IMPORTANCE: Periviable and previable premature rupture of membranes (pPPROM) occurs in <1% of pregnancies but can have devastating consequences for the mother and the fetus. Understanding risk factors, possible interventions, and both maternal and neonatal outcomes will improve the counseling and care provided for these patients. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this review is to describe the etiology, risk factors, management strategies, neonatal and maternal outcomes, and recurrence risk for patients experiencing pPPROM...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the neonatal outcomes of early preterm births according to delivery indications and determine the obstetric risk factors associated with adverse outcomes. METHODS: We retrospectively studied pregnancies delivered between 22 + 0 and 26 + 6 weeks at the tertiary center between April 2013 and April 2022. Stillbirths, elective termination of pregnancy, and multifetal pregnancies were excluded. Patients were classified into two groups according to delivery indications: spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) due to premature rupture of membranes (PROM), preterm labor, or acute cervical insufficiency; and indicated preterm birth (iPTB)...

Preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROMs) before viability carries significant perinatal mortality and morbidity. Clinical management and prenatal counselling are a challenge, especially in twin pregnancies, due to scarce evidence on how previable PPROM affects this population. The aim of this study was to describe pregnancy outcomes of twin pregnancies complicated with previable PPROM and evaluate potential prognostic factors that may predict perinatal mortality. A retrospective cohort including dichorionic and monochorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies complicated with PPROM before 24 + 0 weeks of pregnancy was evaluated...

BACKGROUND: ppPROM < 24 + 0 weeks of gestation complicates < 1 % of all pregnancies but is responsible for significant maternal and neonatal morbidity. It is associated with 18-20% of perinatal deaths. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate neonatal outcome after expectant management in ppPROM in order to obtain evidence-based information for purposes of future counselling. METHODS: A single-centre, retrospective cohort study of 117 neonates born 1994 to 2012 after ppPROM < 24 weeks of gestation with a latency period > 24 hours and admission to the NICU of the Department of Neonatology, University of Bonn...

Preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PPROM) at the limit of viability is associated with low neonatal survival rates and a high rate of neonatal complications in survivors. It carries a major risk of maternal morbidity and mortality. The limit of viability can be defined as the earliest stage of fetal maturity when a fetus has a reasonable chance, although not a high likelihood, for extra-uterine survival. The study reviews available data on preventing preterm delivery caused by the previable PPROM, pregnancy latency, therapeutic options including the use of antibiotics and steroids, neonatal outcomes, and future directions and opportunities...

OBJECTIVE: There is no consensus for the method of aneuploidy screening in pregnancy. Cell free DNA (cfDNA) is the most sensitive screen for trisomies 21, 13, and 18, however the first trimester screen (FTS) is a marker for other adverse outcomes, such as structural anomalies, growth restriction, and preeclampsia. In 2019, we offered FTS (nuchal translucency (NT) and analytes) with or without cfDNA. The purpose of this study was to assess clinical relevance of abnormal FTS in women with normal cfDNA...

PURPOSE: This study aimed to describe the maternal and fetal outcomes associated with expectant management following previable preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) before 24 weeks of gestation. We also analyzed the risk estimates of potential confounders to clarify whether these variables are contributed to the risk of postnatal mortality among these neonates. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included all pregnant patients who experienced previable PPROM before 24 weeks of gestation at a tertiary maternal-fetal medicine center...

BACKGROUND: After preterm premature rupture of membranes at <24 weeks' gestation, pregnant women may choose continuation (expectant management) or termination of pregnancy, via either dilation and evacuation or labor induction. Neonatal outcomes after expectant management are well described. In contrast, limited research addresses maternal outcomes associated with expectant management compared to termination of pregnancy. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to compare maternal morbidity after preterm premature rupture of membranes at <24 weeks' gestation in women who choose either expectant management or termination of pregnancy...

OBJECTIVE: Perinatal mortality after previable prelabor rupture of membranes (previable PROM) might be underestimated as most studies exclude patients with poor prognosis, or solely include patients in tertiary-care centers. We aimed to report perinatal, neonatal and long-term outcomes in a consecutive series of women with pregnancies complicated by previable PROM. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a prospective cohort study including women with singleton pregnancies and previable PROM ≤ 23+6 weeks gestational age (GA) from one tertiary hospital and eight affiliated secondary hospitals in the region of Amsterdam, the Netherlands (June 2012 until January 2016, PPROMEXIL-III cohort)...

Previable preterm premature rupture of membranes (PV-PPROM) is defined as rupture of membranes prior to 24 weeks and is a rare phenomenon with an estimated prevalence of 0.5% of all pregnancies. Given that this phenomenon is even more rare in patients with dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twin pregnancies, there is no clear consensus in the literature on outcomes and management of DCDA PV-PPROM due to the scarcity of reports. We report a case of a rare successful prolongation of first trimester DCDA PV-PPROM pregnancy with rupture of the amniotic sac of one twin with survival of both twins without major complications...

We sought to compare maternal and neonatal risk factors in cases with previable premature rupture of membranes (pPPROM, between 14-24 weeks) for optimal counselling. Therefore, 192 pregnancies of 485 cases which met selection criteria and agreed to follow-up were retrospectively analysed. Mean gestational age at pPPROM was 20.45 weeks. Live births occurred in 171 cases, but 67 (39.2%) of them died in the neonatal period (neonatal death group) and 104 cases (60.8%) constituted surviving neonate group. Of the surviving neonates, 37 (33...

Purpose: To determine perinatal outcomes and influence of amniotic fluid volume in pregnancies complicated by previable, preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (pPPROM). Patients and methods: This was a historical cohort study from two tertiary-level maternity hospitals (January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2015). All pregnancies complicated by pPPROM were identified using ICD coding of discharge abstracts. Hospital charts were reviewed to collect maternal demographics, pregnancy and delivery events, and immediate postnatal outcomes (including survival)...

BACKGROUND: In accordance with the guidelines for the expectant management of women exposed to previable preterm premature rupture of membrane, we compared neonatal outcomes according to the latent period from membrane rupture to delivery among extremely preterm infants exposed to maternal preterm premature rupture of membrane using the Korean Neonatal Network database. METHODS: Of the 3,305 extremely preterm infants born at 23-27 weeks' gestation between 2014 and 2017 who were registered in the Korean Neonatal Network, 1,464 infants were born to pregnant women who were exposed to preterm premature rupture of membrane...

Study Design  Retrospective review of neonatal survival and maternal and neonatal outcomes of pPPROM cases between 2012 and 2019 at a tertiary referral center in South Central Louisiana. Regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of neonatal survival. Results  Of 81 cases of pPPROM prior to 23 weeks gestational age (WGA), 23 survived to neonatal intensive care unit discharge (28...

OBJECTIVE: To compare outcomes of hospitalized preterm infants following previable prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM) at≤23 weeks of gestation. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of preterm infants admitted for intensive care, between January 2006 and December 2016 following PPROM, was conducted. Short term clinical outcomes included severity of respiratory morbidity, length of hospital stay and mortality. Neurodevelopment in survivors was assessed using Bayley's Scales of Infant Development (3rd edition) at 24 months corrected age...

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the maternal, perinatal and long-term prognosis in the event of previable premature rupture of the membranes (PROM) and to specify the interventions likely to reduce the risks and improve the prognosis. METHODS: The PubMed database, the Cochrane Library and the recommendations from the French and foreign obstetrical societies or colleges have been consulted. RESULTS: Previable PROM is a rare event whose frequency varies from 0...

Purpose: To provide center-based outcome data on obstetric and neonatal complications arising from expectantly managed pregnancies affected by preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) before viability. Materials and methods: We collected data on 130 consecutive pregnancies complicated by spontaneous rupture of membranes before 24 week's gestation, occurring over a 7-year period. These were women who delivered >24 h after membrane rupture, and had no signs of chorioamnionitis or advanced labor at admission...
