PPROM and oligohydramnios affect neonatal outcomes differently. Oligohydramnios, but not PPROM, is a significant risk factor for adverse neonatal outcomes, which is presumably related to pulmonary hypoplasia. Prenatal inflammation appears to complicate neonatal outcomes in infants affected by early PPROM and prolonged PPROM latency.
