A total of 7866 pregnant women were recruited during 5 years at their first prenatal visit to the perinatal clinic of the institution. We compared three groups (women without prematurity, women with spontaneous preterm labor with intact membranes (sPL with IM), women with PPROM) regarding 60 criteria about characteristics, lifestyle, medical, gynecological, obstetrical history of mothers, medication during pregnancy, events at delivery, and complications in neonates. Logistic regression analyses adjusting for potential confounding factors were used. Of the 6968 women selected, 189 (2.8%) presented a PPROM, and 225 (3.2%) an sPL with IM. The specific risk factors for PPROM were body mass index (BMI) &lt;18.5 kg\/m2 (adjusted odds ratio, aOR: 2.00 (1.09\u20133.67)), history of PPROM (aOR: 2.75 (1.19\u20136.36)), nulliparity (aOR: 2.52 (1.77\u20133.60)), gestational diabetes (aOR: 1.87 (1.16\u20132.99)), and low level of education (aOR: 2.39 (1.20\u20134.78)). The complications associated with PPROM were abruption placentae, cesarean, APGAR 5\u2032 &lt;4, birth weight &lt;2500 g, stillbirth, neonatal jaundice, and hospitalization of mother and neonates. All these complications were also associated with sPL with IM. Our study confirms some of the risk factors of PPROM and highlights a new one: gestational diabetes. Outcomes of PPROM are related to prematurity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm8111987","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,15]],"date-time":"2019-11-15T11:25:56Z","timestamp":1573817156000},"page":"1987","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":89,"title":["Risk Factors and Outcomes of Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes in a Cohort of 6968 Pregnant Women Prospectively Recruited"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2707-4320","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Damien","family":"Bouvier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biochemistry and Molecular Genetic Department, CHU Clermont-Ferrand, Faculty of Medicine, Universit\u00e9 Clermont-Auvergne, CNRS 6293, INSERM 1103, GReD, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5910-5822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean-Claude","family":"Forest","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Biology, Medical biochemistry and Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Centre de recherche du CHU de Qu\u00e9bec-Universit\u00e9 Laval, Qu\u00e9bec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lo\u00efc","family":"Blanchon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Universit\u00e9 Clermont-Auvergne, CNRS 6293, INSERM 1103, GReD, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel","family":"Bujold","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproduction, Faculty of Medicine, Universit\u00e9 Laval, Qu\u00e9bec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3778-7161","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bruno","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biostatistics Unit (DRCI), CHU de Clermont-Ferrand, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nathalie","family":"Bernard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre de recherche du CHU de Qu\u00e9bec-Universit\u00e9 Laval, Qu\u00e9bec City, QC G1L 3L5, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Denis","family":"Gallot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, CHU Clermont-Ferrand, Faculty of Medicine, Universit\u00e9 Clermont-Auvergne, CNRS 6293, INSERM 1103, GReD, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7452-315X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vincent","family":"Sapin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biochemistry and Molecular Genetic Department, CHU Clermont-Ferrand, Faculty of Medicine, Universit\u00e9 Clermont-Auvergne, CNRS 6293, INSERM 1103, GReD, 63000 Clermont-Ferrand, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yves","family":"Gigu\u00e8re","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Biology, Medical biochemistry and Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Centre de recherche du CHU de Qu\u00e9bec-Universit\u00e9 Laval, Qu\u00e9bec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"192","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(80)90674-1","article-title":"Causes and consequences of premature rupture of fetal membranes","volume":"1","author":"Naeye","year":"1980","journal-title":"Lancet Lond.
