Abstract

Background: The premature rupture of amniotic membrane (PROM) is considered as a cause of 1/3 of premature deliveries and has a reasonable effect on mortality and morbidity of newborns. So, on time and accurate diagnosis of PROM is necessary for keeping the safety of mothers and their fetuses. In this study sensitivity and specificity of Padtan-Pasargad kit in diagnosis of PROM were investigated.
Methods: TThis diagnostic study was conducted on 30 pregnant women with premature amniotic sac rupture (case group) and 30 pregnant women without amniotic sac rupture (control group), who were been referred to Isfahan Clinic Hospital. The case and control groups were randomly selected. Vaginal Physical examination, Nitrazin test and Padtan-Pasargad test were performed for all cases.
Findings: Based on the physical examination as gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity of Nitrazin test were 76.6 and 83.3% respectively. Sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of Padtan Pasargad test were 83.3, 93.3 and 88.3% respectively.
Conclusion: The results of this work showed that Padtan Pasargad vaginal pH &PROM kit have suitable sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing PROM and could be use as a rapid test in women with suspected   premature rupture of amniotic membrane.
