Investigation of risk factors according to gestational age in cases with premature rupture of membrane

Objective: to determine the effects of the risk factors according to gestational age in pregnant women with premature rupture of membrane (prom). methodology: two hundred pregnant women that were hospitalized with premature rupture of membrane participated in the study and were divided into two groups according to 34 gestation week (gw). results: mean of gestation weeks was 31.71±3.43 and 96.5% preterm premature rupture of membrane. it was determined that being young (or=1.64), advanced age (or=2.41), low levels of education (or=2.80), primigravida (or=3.44), multiparity (or=2.83), overweight before pregnancy (or=4.66) and coitus frequency (or=1.61) could be effective in the formation of membrane rupture in < 34gw in our cases. conclusion: our results indicate that some risk factors, which are shown as preventable factors, could be significant in the formation of membrane rupture in < 34gw. .
