Neonatal outcomes and risk of neonatal sepsis in an expectantly managed cohort of late preterm prelabor rupture of membranes

CONCLUSION: Expectant management of LpPROM should be encouraged especially between 34+0 and 34+6 weeks', when the burden of prematurity is the greatest. Antibiotics may have beneficial effects, while careful consideration should be given to antenatal corticosteroids until future studies specifically address LpPROM.PMID:33857797 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2021.03.036
