The optimal induction timing in prelabor rupture of membranes: a retrospective study.

Objective: Term prelabour rupture of membrane (PROM) occurs in 8% of term deliveries, but it is unclear when to initiate induction. Our objective was to assess the optimal timing of oxytocin induction in the management of term PROM in terms of maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was performed at a single tertiary care center from 2010 to 2020.
