Abstract
Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) is defined as rupture of membranes before 37 completed weeks of gestation. Worldwide, approximately 15 million births occur too early (before 37 completed weeks of gestation) every year. These preterm or premature births represent about 11% of all deliveries. Preterm premature rupture of membranes occurs in approximately 2% to 3% of pregnancies and is responsible for one third of preterm deliveries
