Popis: Background: Prelabor rupture of the fetal membranes (PROM) is a major contributor to adverse perinatal outcomes. Some epidemiologic studies explored the association between maternal PM2.5 exposure and PROM but failed to treat the labor induction and prelabor cesarean section as censored observations. Objective: We aimed to evaluated whether acute and chronic maternal ambient PM2.5 exposure may increase the risk of PROM in China. Methods: This study was based on the China Labor and Delivery Survey, a nationwide multicenter investigation. Included in the current analysis were 45,879 singleton spontaneous births in 96 hospitals in mainland China from 2015 to 2017. Outcomes were PROM, preterm PROM (
