Popis: To evaluate clinical outcomes of women with singleton pregnancies that underwent intra-amniotic dye instillation (amniodye test) following equivocal diagnosis of prelabor rupture of membranes (PROM).Records of 34 pregnant women who underwent amniodye test for equivocal PROM were reviewed. Comparisons of characteristics, amniotic fluid (AF) cultures, AF interleukin (IL)-6 concentrations, and placenta pathology results between women who tested positive and those who tested negative were performed. A sub-analysis of women who were amniodye test-negative was also performed.(1) Commonest indication for amniodye test was a typical history of PROM with positive conventional tests and persistently normal AF volume, (2) amniodye test-positive women had a shorter procedure-to-delivery interval (p = 0.008), and a greater proportion of histologic acute chorioamnionitis (p = 0.04) and funisitis (p = 0.01) than amniodye-negative women, and (3) in addition to similarities to women with amniodye-positive test, amniodye test-negative women who delivered34 weeks, had a greater proportion of women with risk for preterm birth (p = 0.04), than their counterparts who delivered between 34 0/7 and 36 6/7 weeks.Equivocal diagnosis of PPROM should warrant an amniodye test to avoid iatrogenic intervention in women with intact amniotic membranes. AF analysis should be performed in amniodye test-negative women.
