This study aimed to estimate the effect of erythromycin vs azithromycin on the duration of latency and the rate of clinical chorioamnionitis in women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes by performing a systematic review and meta-analysis of the existing literature.From inception to October 2021, we explored MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, ClinicalTrials.gov, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials.Studies comparing the duration of latency and the rate of clinical chorioamnionitis between women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes who were treated with erythromycin and those who were treated with azithromycin at the time of diagnosis were included.Here, 2 reviewers separately ascertained studies, obtained data, and gauged study quality. The mean length of latency and the rate of clinical chorioamnionitis were compared and mean differences and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were estimated.A total of 5 studies with 1289 women were identified. The mean length of latency in women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes was similar between individuals treated with erythromycin and those treated with azithromycin: 6.6 days vs 6.7 days (mean difference, 0.07 days; 95% confidence interval, -0.45 to 0.60; IThe administration of azithromycin in women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes was associated with a similar latency period but a lower rate of clinical chorioamnionitis than the administration of erythromycin. |
