Objective: To investigate the predictive value of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in premature rupture of membranes complicated by sepsis.
Study Design: A descriptive study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Paediatrics, Affiliated Hospital of Yanbian University, China, from January 2020 to June 2021.
Methodology: Ninety-nine children with premature rupture of membranes and sepsis were included as group A and 99 children without sepsis were included as group B. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyse the risk factors for premature rupture of membranes complicated by sepsis. The diagnostic value of PLR and NLR in sepsis complicated by premature rupture of membranes was assessed by subject operating characteristic curve (ROC) curves.
Results: Univariate analysis showed significant differences between groups A and B in terms of mode of delivery, lymphocyte count, platelets, PLR and NLR (p <0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that mode of delivery, platelets, PLR and NLR were independent risk factors for premature rupture of membranes complicated by sepsis (p <0.05). The ROC area for PLR was 0.781 (95% CI: 0.718-0.844, p <0.001), which was greater than that for NLR when premature rupture of membranes complicated by sepsis was predicted. When the PLR was >93.072, the sensitivity of predicting premature rupture of membranes complicated by sepsis was 67.7% and the specificity was 79.8%.
Conclusion: PLR and NLR have a high predictive value for premature rupture of membranes complicated by sepsis. Among them, the predictive value of PLR was greater than NLR.
Key Words: Premature rupture of membranes, Sepsis, PLR, NLR, Subject operating characteristic curve (ROC).

Outcomes of Extremely Preterm Infants Exposed to Prolonged Prelabor Rupture of Membranes before 24 Weeks of Gestation.

Background: Preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) before or around the limit of fetal viability is associated with serious maternal and neonatal complications including chorioamnionitis, extremely preterm birth, and pulmonary hypoplasia.
Objectives: To describe contemporary outcomes of extremely preterm infants born after prolonged periviable PPROM, and to identify perinatal factors associated with survival and survival without severe neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI).
Study Design: Among actively treated infants born alive at <27 weeks' gestational age (GA) in centers of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network from 2012 to 2018, the outcomes of survival and survival without severe NDI at 22-26 months' corrected age were compared between infants exposed to prolonged (≥120 hours) periviable (<24 weeks' GA) PPROM and unexposed infants born after rupture of membranes ≤18 hours before delivery or at delivery, adjusting for birth GA, sex, multiple gestation, antenatal steroids, small for gestational age (SGA), insurance, and center.

: In the case of threatened preterm birth (PTB) before the 34th week of pregnancy, the application of antenatal corticosteroids (ACSs) for the maturation of the fetal lung is a standard procedure in perinatal medicine. Common diagnoses for ACS use in pregnancy are the preterm rupture of membranes (PPROMs), placental bleeding, premature labor, preeclampsia, oligohydramnios, amniotic infection syndrome (AIS), and cervical insufficiency. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the current diagnosis, which results in ACS, and the patient's risk factors influence the risk of PTB events.

Single-nucleus RNA sequencing reveals distinct pathophysiological trophoblast signatures in spontaneous preterm birth subtypes.

Spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) poses significant challenges, affecting neonatal health and neurodevelopmental outcomes worldwide. The specific effects of placental trophoblasts on the pathological development of sPTB subtypes-preterm premature rupture of fetal membranes (pPROM) and spontaneous preterm labor (sPTL)-are not fully understood, making it crucial to uncover these impacts for the development of effective therapeutic strategies. Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing, we investigated transcriptomic and cellular differences at the maternal-fetal interface in pPROM and sPTL placentas.
