The study was designed to estimate the risk of recurrence of preterm premature rupture of membranes in subsequent pregnancies. 121 patients with idiopathic PROM were followed up over two or more subsequent pregnancies and the problem recurred in 39 patients, for a rate of 32.2%. Various demographic data and characteristics of the index pregnancies were compared to identify a sub-group of patients at higher risk of recurrence in an attempt to prevent problem of prematurity.
