Re: [ozmidwifery] recurrent preterm ROM

I looked up PPROM AND recurrence on Pubmed and came up with the following 3 references:
 
Risk factors for the recurrence of premature rupture of the membranes.
Paediatr Perinat Epidemiol. 1997 Jan;11 Suppl 1:96-106.
PMID: 9018719 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
2: Regenstein AC, Main DM. Related Articles
Antenatal care of the patient with previous preterm premature rupture of membranes.
Obstet Gynecol Clin North Am. 1992 Jun;19(2):387-95. Review.
PMID: 1630745 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
3: Hadley CB, Main DM, Gabbe SG. Related Articles
Risk factors for preterm premature rupture of the fetal membranes.
Am J Perinatol. 1990 Oct;7(4):374-9.
PMID: 2222633 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
 
I had a quick look at the abstracts and it seems as though these researchers have looked retrospectively at various risk factors  from smoking, ethnicity, lifestyle to infections and parity amongst others and have found an association with smoking and parity and history of PPROM. Mostly it is inconclusive and still being investigated. Anyway, you can find these by searching for Pubmed and then searching their data base.

Thanks Deb, I've already looked there but unfortunatly  ECPC dosn't address the issue of "recurrent preterm prelabour SROM" in subsequent pregnancies....This is where I'm having difficulty finding info....Any other suggestions??

Can anyone out there point me in the right direction to get some
evidenced based research for Shazza?

The latest edition of Effective Care in Pregnancy and Childbirth has a chapter on prelabour ROM, and discusses preterm ROM in some detail.
