Abstract: Background: Prelabour rupture of membranes PROM is a significant obstetric challenge that can transform a low - risk pregnancy into a high - risk situation for both mother and fetus. As prelabour rupture of membranes is an obstetric condition associated with significant maternal morbidity and mortality, so the purpose of this study is to analyze the maternal outcomes associated with prelabour rupture of membranes to identify the contributing factors to maternal morbidity and to suggest effective management strategies. Methods: This observational study, conducted over 12 months at a tertiary care institute in central India, analyzes maternal outcomes associated with PROM. Data from 125 patients diagnosed with PROM were collected and statistically analyzed. Results: The study found a maternal morbidity rate of 25.6, with febrile morbidity being the most common cause 8, followed by clinical chorioamnionitis 6.4. No maternal mortality was observed. The findings emphasize the need for accurate diagnosis and management of PROM to mitigate maternal morbidity. Conclusions: Major impact of PROM was found to increase maternal morbidity (25%). In our study population, main factors attributable to this increased morbidity were febrile morbidity followed by clinical chorioamnionitis.
