Is it possible to make a reliable prognosis within the first hour of life for very low birth weight infants delivered after preterm premature rupture of membranes?
Gestational age at birth and parameters reflecting postnatal adaptation were the most precise factors for assessment of the prognosis of VLBW infants after pPROM within the first hour of life. Apart from anhydramnios, obstetric factors did not predict neonatal outcome. At 1 h of age, our models of perinatal risk factors were more effective in predicting a favorable outcome than an adverse outcome.
