Summary: Studies comparing retention versus removal of cervical cerclage in women with PPROM showed potential prolongation of latency to delivery with retention, but also potential increase in maternal infectious morbidity. Limited evidence found no significant differences in neonatal outcomes, with most studies limited by retrospective nature and small sample sizes.

Summary: Recent studies indicate that uterine fibroids increase the risk of preterm birth. It is hypothesized that fibroid necrosis may induce preterm birth through an inflammatory response, similar to spontaneous preterm birth. This new hypothesis opens up possibilities for future research and preventive strategies for preterm birth.

Summary: This study compared the impact of oral-only antibiotics treatment with intravenous antibiotics followed by oral antibiotics treatment on pregnancy latency in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes. The results suggested that there was no significant difference in pregnancy latency between the oral-only antibiotics regimen and the standard regimen.

Summary: The study found no significant association between fibroids and preterm birth during pregnancy, even after accounting for confounding factors. This suggests that the presence of fibroids may not be a major risk factor for preterm birth as previously believed.

Summary: Preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) leading to preterm birth has significant implications for neonatal and maternal health. This systematic review examined existing data on biomarkers that can predict the duration of pregnancy following PPROM. Several biomarkers, including IL-6, IL-8, CRP, IL1RA, and others, showed a positive predictive value for timing of delivery. Proinflammatory biomarkers, particularly IL-6 or CRP, were found to be the most correlated with delivery timing, regardless of intrauterine infection.

Summary: Low levels of HDL-C and hypertension in mid-pregnancy are associated with spontaneous preterm deliveries, highlighting the importance of closer monitoring of MetS and its components during pregnancy.

Summary: The rate of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and the likelihood of composite maternal or neonatal morbidity after preterm PROM were similar for twin and singleton gestations in a large, diverse cohort.

Summary: Factors predictive of short latency exceeding 48 h after PPROM include the need for tocolysis, a cervical length less than 25 mm at admission, and the existence of anamnios. Outpatient follow-up did not result in increased maternal morbidity or neonatal mortality.

Summary: Klebsiella pneumoniae infection leading to acute chorioamnionitis caused intrauterine fetal demise in a case presented here. The mother was admitted at 18 weeks + 1 day for threatened abortion, with IUFD occurring 11 days later. The correct treatment was initiated based on fetal microbiological results, leading to full patient recovery.

Summary: This population-based study found that living within a 3-km radius of petrochemical industrial parks (PIPs) during pregnancy, or having high petrochemical exposure opportunity, increased the risk of premature rupture of membranes (PROM). Additional research is needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study conducted Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis and found no causal relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations in the three trimesters and the risk of preterm birth (PTB), premature rupture of membranes (PROM), and preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM).

Summary: Studies on prelabour rupture of membranes (PROM) suggest that expectant management (EM) until 37 weeks of gestation in preterm PROM can reduce overall neonatal morbidity, while active management in term PROM may lead to a shorter birth interval without lowering neonatal infection rates. Induction methods using oxytocin, PGE2, or oral misoprostol have similar maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Summary: Self-report of uterine fibroids underestimates the prevalence of UF and is not accurate enough for epidemiological research. Future studies should use population-based designs and more accurate diagnostic tools such as TVUS.
