175: Does malpresentation affect latency and other perinatal outcomes among PPROM cases?

PPROM is estimated to complicate 3% of all births and is associated with up to 40% all preterm births. PPROM is an important cause for perinatal mortality and morbidity and there are improved outcomes with longer latency. There is limited literature on whether fetal presentation affects latency among PPROM cases. Our objective was to determine whether fetal presentation at the diagnosis of PPROM has an effect on the latency period and other perinatal outcomes.
