The correlation between parity and incidence of premature rupture of membranes

Abstract

Objectives: To identify the correlation between parity and premature rupture of membrane (PROM) incidence at Government Maternity Hospital, Tirupati in 2022.Methods: This is a retrospective observational study conducted in a Tertiary Care Hospital in Andhra Pradesh from May 2022 to July 2022. The study population was all pregnant women giving birth at Tertiary Care Hospital from May to July 2022.

Incidence in Primi’s is 2.4% and multi para’s is 4.6%.The research results showed that most PROM incidences occurred in primipara as many as 72 respondents (8.3%), and those who did not experience PROM occurred in multipara were as many as 777 respondents (28.5%). Chi-Square (X2) statistical test obtained p-value = 0.007 so that it can be concluded that there was a correlation between parity and the incidence of premature rupture of membranes in Tertiary Care Centre in Tirupati from May 2022 to July 2022.Conclusion: Mothers in Tertiary Care Centre, Tirupati mainly were multipara. There is a relationship between parity with the incidence of premature rupture of membranes in Tertiary Care Centre from May 2022 to July 2022 with p value = 0.007.
