Abstract
We found that when length of time of ruptured membranes before delivery is examined via dichotomized time thresholds, the risks of chorioamnionitis and endomyometritis are significantly increased at 12 hours and 16 hours, respectively. These time thresholds derived from dichotomized time analyses should be considered during risk-based counseling and labor management in the setting of term premature rupture of membranes.
