Premature births are responsible for 27.0 per cent of annual child deaths globally, 70.0 per cent of prenatal mortality in developed countries and 50.0 per cent of neurological disorders. Obstetric risk factors include: cervical incompetence, multiple gestation, limited birth cycles, history of abortion, premature membrane breakup, and prior preterm labour.In the meantime, pregnancy conditions such as respiratory disorders and hypertension are the most common direct causes of preterm birth. Bleeding during labour, polyhydramnios or oligohydramnios, foetal abnormalities including, in particular, numerous organ systems and central nervous system abnormalities. The objective of the research is to calculate the incidence rate of PPROM among pregnant women attending Zagazig University hospital, and to identify the fetal/neonatal outcome and potential factors associated with poor fetal/neonatal outcome. This is a cross-section study, performed at the ER Department of Zagazig University Hospitals for Vaginal Delivery, from July 2020 to January 2021,
