Facteurs de risques de la rupture prématurée des membranes entre 28 et 34 semaines d’aménorrhée dans un hôpital universitaire au Burkina

Abstract

The objective was to study the different risk factors for premature rupture of membranes in a context of resource-limited countries. This was a prospective and descriptive study for an analytical purpose, over a period of 12 months, in the Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics and Reproductive Medicine of the Souro Sanou University Hospital Center in Bobo-Dioulasso. Burkina Faso. It concerned the pregnant women received in our department, whose diagnosis of rupture of the membranes before any work began, in pregnancies of 28 to 34 weeks of amenorrhea, was confirmed after the clinical examination. We recorded 38 cases of premature rupture of membranes for 5024 deliveries or a frequency of 0.75%. These patients were young, primiparious, housewives, having made little prenatal consultations. The antecedents of these patients have been marked by cases of premature rupture of the membranes, and abortion. Other risk factors included irregular presentations, placenta previa and urogenital infections, which identified a group of women at risk of premature rupture of the membranes.
