Objective: We sought to critically assess the risk factors for neonatal pulmonary hypoplasia
and perinatal death in patients with preterm rupture of the amniotic membranes from 15 to

had preterm rupture of the amniotic membranes at 15 to 28 weeks' gestation and were
without fetal anomalies, multiple gestation, and oligohydramnios before rupture of the
membranes. The amniotic fluid volume index was determined at admission and weekly …
