The maternal and fetal outcome of a conservative management protocol, at a tertiary care center, for premature rupture of membranes between 25 and 34 weeks' gestation was reviewed for the 2-year period 1980 to 1981. There were 139 patients with premature rupture of the membranes prior to 37 weeks' gestation, 47 with premature rupture of the membranes less than 24 hours prior to delivery, and 92 in whom premature rupture of the membranes occurred 24 hours or more before delivery. There was a significant difference in the incidence of chorioamnionitis and endometritis between patients in whom premature rupture of the membranes occurred 24 hours or more before delivery and patients in whom delivery took place within 24 hours (p less than 0.001). However, neither prolongation of pregnancy with premature rupture of the membranes beyond 24 hours nor use of betamethasone was associated with any increase in maternal or neonatal infectious morbidity. Neonatal mortality was 3.3% and was related only to lower gestational age.
