Prolonged latency after preterm premature rupture of membranes: an independent risk factor for neonatal sepsis?
Résumé
We read with great interest the article by Drassinower et al, who investigated the impact of prolonged latency after preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) on neonatal sepsis. The main finding highlights that, for a given gestational age at PPROM, prolonged latency does not increase the risk of neonatal sepsis, except for latencies >4 weeks associated with reduced risk of sepsis. As rightly underlined by the authors, this result makes sense as the most stable cases of PPROM with the longest latency durations are probably those with the lowest risks of chorioamnionitis and neonatal sepsis.
