Abstract

Background: Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is defined as the rupture of fetal membranes before the onset of labor. PROM complicates 8 – 10% of pregnancies, contributing to maternal and perinatel mortality and morbidity. Maternal pyrexia is a sign observed in women with PROM indicating intrauterine infection. Objective: To determine the frequency of pyrexia among women presenting with premature rupture of membranes. Material And Methods: Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar. It was a Descriptive (cross-sectional) study conducted from Jan 13, 2O16 to July 12, 2016. Sample size was 369, keeping 4% proportion of pyrexia among women with PROM, 95% confidence interval and 2% margin of error under WHO sample size calculation. Sampling Technique was non-probability consecutive sampling Results: In this study, 369 women with premature rupture of membranes were observed. Average age was 29.53+6.3SD. The pyrexia among women presenting with premature rupture of membranes was observed in 10.57 %. Conclusion: Maternal pyrexia after PROM is more common in older women.
