Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM), intrauterine infection, and oligohydramnios are risk factors for placental abruption. METHODS: Data for this retrospective cohort study were derived from the 1988 National Maternal and Infant Health Survey (N = 11,777). Association between abruption and these clinical risk factors was expressed as relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI), with multivariate adjustment for potential confounders. RESULTS: The overall incidence of abruption was 0.87%. The risk of abruption was 3.58-fold higher (95% CI 1.74-7.39) among women with preterm PROM (2.29%) compared with women with intact membranes (0.86%). The rates of abruption among women with and without intrauterine infection were 4.81% and 0.83%, respectively (RR 9.71, 95% CI 3.23-29.17). However, oligohydramnios was not associated with abruption (1.46% compared with 0.87%; RR 2.09, 95% CI 0.92-5.31). Compared with women with intact membranes, the RR for abruption among preterm PROM and whose membranes were ruptured for 24-47 hours and 48 hours or more before delivery, respectively, were 2.37 (95% CI 0.99-9.09), and 9.87 (95% CI 3.57-27.82). When preterm PROM was accompanied by intrauterine infections, the RR for abruption was 9.03 (95% CI 2.80-29.15) compared with women with intact membranes and no infections. Similarly, preterm PROM accompanied by oligohydramnios conferred over a 7.17-fold risk (95% CI 1.35-38.10) for abruption compared with women with neither of these 2 conditions. CONCLUSION: Women presenting with preterm PROM are at increased risk of developing abruption, with the risk being higher either in the presence of intrauterine infections or oligohydramnios. Physicians managing patients with preterm PROM should be aware that these patients are at increased risk of developing abruption after 24 hours following preterm PROM.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
