OBJECTIVE Although intra-amniotic(IA) infection is present in both preterm labor and intact membranes(PTL) and preterm premature rupture of membranes(preterm-PROM), it is more common in preterm-PROM than in PTL. Microorganisms and their products in the amniotic-cavity can elicit an inflammatory-response in fetus as well as in amniotic-cavity in the progression of acute histologic chorioamnionit...

This demonstration paper describes version 4.1 of the ProM process mining tool. Process mining techniques attempt to extract non-trivial and useful process information from so-called “event logs”. ProM allows for the discovery of different process perspectives (e.g., control-flow, time, resources, and data) and supports related techniques such as control-flow mining, performance analysis, resou...

The definition of PROM is rupture of membranes before the onset of labor. Membrane rupture before labor and before 37 weeks of gestation is referred to as preterm PROM. Management is influenced by gestational age and the presence of complicating factors, such as clinical infection, abruptio placentae, labor, or nonreassuring fetal status. An accurate assessment of gestational age and knowledge ...

INTRODUCTION Prolonged rupture of membrane (PROM) is an important risk factor for early onset neonatal sepsis (EONS), which is associated with increased neonatal morbidity and mortality. We reported the incidence and associated risk factors of PROM for culture-proven EONS. METHODOLOGY The medical records of all neonates born at Aga Khan University, Karachi over a period of five years (2007-20...

BACKGROUND Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) measure patients' perspectives on health outcomes and are increasingly used in health care. To capture the patient's perspective, it is essential that patients are involved in PROM development OBJECTIVE: This article reviews in what ways and to what extent patients are involved in PROM development and whether patient involvement has increased...
