Abstract

Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is acommon obstetric complication, affectingapproximately 5-10% of pregnancies. It isassociated with significant maternal andneonatal morbidity, particularly due to infectionand preterm birth. One of the important neonataloutcomes influenced by PROM is birth weight,which directly impacts neonatal survival and morbidity.
