Early planned labor induction vs expectant management in late preterm pre-labor rupture of membranes: maternal and neonatal outcomes.

In pregnancies complicated by late PPROM, early labor induction was associated with a shorter antepartum maternal hospital stay but a higher neonatal ICU admission rate and more frequent antibiotic administration than expect-ant management. We consider expectant management to be an acceptable alternative to early labor induction in PPROM.
