Chorioamnionitis occurs about 10% in patients with premature rupture of membrane. It can cause severe complications to mother and fetus.
So, early detection and proper treatment is the best way to protect mother and fetus from complications. We studied the role of the C-reactive Protein in early detection of the chorioamnionitis in patients with Premature rupture of membrane.
89 cases with ruptured membrane and 46 cases with intact membrane were taken and analyzed.
@ES The results were as follows:
@EN 1. There was no significant difference in demographic characteristics between PROM and control group (age, gestational age, gravity, parity).
2. Positive CRP rate was significantly higher in PROM group (43.8%) than control group (17.4%).
3. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value of the CRP test was higher in comparision with other laboratory tests such as WBC count, differential count, and Erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
4. CRP level was correlated with severity of histological chorioamnionitis.
5. CRP level was correlated with the duration of ruptured time in PROM group.
6. Caesarean section rate was higher in PROM group(39.3%) than control group (21.7%).
