ABSTRACT: Objective
To assess the effect of transabdominal amnioinfusion or no intervention on long-term outcomes in children born after second-trimester prelabour rupture of the membranes (PROM between 16+0/7 -24+0/7 weeks) and oligohydramnios.Population
Follow up of infants of women who participated in the randomised controlled trial: PPROMEXIL-III (NTR3492).Methods
Surviving infants were invited for neurodevelopmental assessment up to 5 years of corrected age using a Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development or a Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. Parents were asked to complete several questionnaires.Main outcome measures
Neurodevelopmental outcomes were measured. Mild delay was defined as -1 standard deviation (SD), severe delay as -2 SD. Healthy long-term survival was defined as survival without neurodevelopmental delay or respiratory problems.Results
In the amnioinfusion group, 18/28 children (64%) died versus 21/28 (75%) in the no intervention group (relative risk 0.86; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.60-1.22). Follow-up data were obtained from 14/17 (82%) children (10 amnioinfusion, 4 no intervention). In both groups, 2/28 (7.1%) had a mild neurodevelopmental delay. No severe delay was seen. Healthy long-term survival occurred in 5/28 children (17.9%) after amnioinfusion versus 2/28 (7.1%) after no intervention (odds ratio 2.50; 95% CI 0.53-11.83). When analysing data for all assessed survivors, 10/14 (71.4%) survived without mild neurodevelopmental delay and 7/14 (50%) were classified healthy long-term survivor.Conclusions
In this small sample of women suffering second-trimester PROM and oligohydramnios, amnioinfusion did not improve long-term outcomes. Overall, 71% of survivors had no neurodevelopmental delay.Tweetable abstract
Healthy long-term survival was comparable for children born after second-trimester PROM and treatment with amnioinfusion or no intervention.
