Detailed Summary:
Study population
- This study will be conducted at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology recruiting pregnant women selected from the attendees of antenatal clinic, emergency department and from inpatient wards of Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital from Mars2014.
- This study will include 100 pregnant women these cases will be divided into 2 groups:
- Group 1: Healthy preterm Group: will include 50 pregnant females all at 24-34 weeks of gestational age .
- Group 2: Preterm premature rupture of membrane Group: will include 50 pregnant females all at 24-34 weeks of gestational age
Sponsor: Ain Shams Maternity Hospital
Current Primary Outcome: The correlation between procalcitonin level in PPROM and C-reactive protein level in neonates. [ Time Frame: one year ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome: Procalcitonin. - C-reactive protein. - White blood cells count (total and diffrantiated). -C-reactive protein in neonates of groub 2. [ Time Frame: one year ]
