Role of Vaginal fluid creatinine in diagnosing women of rupture of fetal membranes

Abstract

Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is defined as rupture of the fetal membranes before the onset of labor irrespective of gestational age. It occurs in approximately 8% of women with pregnancy at term. Epidemiological data on the time interval from PROM at term to spontaneous labour demonstrates that over 60% of these women begin labour spontaneously within 24 hours and over 95% begin labour spontaneously within 72 hours.
