Popis: Objective: The study aims to analyze the pregnancy outcomes of multiple gestations with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) that occurred within 24 h after fetal reduction with potassium chloride (KCL). Materials and methods: We identified and evaluated the outcomes of 16 retrospectively recorded multigestational pregnancies that met the inclusion criteria between 2006 and 2016, from the Obstetrics Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital. A total of 16 patients carrying twins or higher order multiple gestations experienced PPROM within 24 h after fetal reduction, and all of them received expectant management after understanding the relevant risks. The maternal and neonatal records were retrospectively collected and reviewed. Every surviving child was followed up to at least 2 years old. Result: Of the 16 cases, 12 cases (75%) ended in successful pregnancy, resulting in the delivery of at least 1 child surviving from a multiple gestational pregnancy. All cases of successful pregnancies were either term (≥37 weeks) or near-term (36+5 weeks) at delivery. And of those 20 infants delivered, only 3 were low birth weight infants (
