Contemporary management of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM): A survey of maternal-fetal medicine providers

Article Abstract:

Variations in the management for women were characterized with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) among maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialists in the context of recommendations for clinical practice and evidence-based practice. The findings indicated that although management practices for women with PPROM are consistent with the recommendations, variations exist in the maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) providers.
