A retrospective analysis of pregnancies complicated by preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) before 24\u00a0weeks gestation was conducted at the University Hospital of Lille from 2014 to 2019. Maternal and neonatal data until hospital discharge were collected. Among 130 fetuses, 67% were live-born. The rate of medical termination of pregnancy was 8%. Seventy-five percent of those live-born were preterm. About one-third of neonates were admitted to the maternity ward without respiratory failure; 61% of neonates required neonatal intensive care unit admission due to prematurity and\/or immediate respiratory failure. Of the live-born infants, 90% were discharged from hospital, 74% with no severe comorbidities. Multivariate analysis identified preterm delivery (relative risk [RR] 3.51, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.82\u20136.76) and short latency from PPROM to delivery (RR 8.47, 95% CI: 1.07\u201366.67) as risk factors for death or severe comorbidities.<\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      <jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>\n                      :\u00a0Parental counseling should consider both current, evolving outcomes, and the unpredictable course of pregnancies complicated by previable PPROM.
