Diagnosing Rupture Of fetal Membranes (ROM) is of
critical importance for the clinician.1-3 An accurate diagnosis
of ROM at any term during pregnancy is crucial to timely
and proper treatment and to determine the need for prompt
hospitalization.3 The failure to identify patients with ROM
can result in a delay or inability to implement salutary
obstetric measures. Conversely, the false positive diagnosis
of ROM can lead to inappropriate or untimely interventions
such as hospitalization or induction of labor.
