Abstract :

 Fetomaternal outcome was studied in 100 women in the gestational age 28–33+6 weeks who were admitted with complains of leaking per vagina. Leaking was confirmed with sterile speculum examination and fern test. A high vaginal swab was taken at admission along with administration of antibiotics and betamethasone. Women were managed conservatively in obstetrical ward and monitored for signs and symptoms of chorioamnionitis and fetal distress. Fetomaternal outcome was studied and results were analysed with required statistical tests. Most common gestational age of presentation was 30–30+6 weeks and 47% women delivered within 12 hours. Neonatal mortality was seen in 33% cases and stillbirth in 1%. Most common cause of neonatal morbidity was sepsis. Maternal morbidity was minimal with 3% developing chorioamnionitis, 2% auption and 5% having fever. 25% patients underwent LSCS and the most common indication for LSCS was failed induction.
