  Author(s): Amr Sobhy*, Suzy Abdel Aziz and Mohamed I. Taema
  
  Background: Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (PPROM) is a primary factor in Preterm Labor (PTL). Assessing the angle between the cervix and uterus may be necessary in predicting PTL. The study aims to evaluate the precision of cervical length and the posterior and anterior cervical angles in forecasting the latency in PPROM. Design: A cohort Prospective study on 140 patients with PPROM was done in 2 private hospitals in KSA from March 2021 to March 2022. The Primary outcome was the latency period, defined as the period from PPROM till the occurrence of labor. In contrast, the Secondary Outcomes were ultrasonographic measurements of Cervical Length (CL), Anterior and posterior cervical angles, and other relevant obstetric outcomes. Methods: Patients with PPROM underwent a transvaginal ultrasound examinat.. Read More»
