Abstract Aim: To understand the role of hyperhomocysteinemia in association with nutritional (folate and vitamin B12) factors involved in one carbon metabolic pathway in the causation of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Methods: The case group (women presenting with PPROM) is compared with gestation matched pregnant women without PPROM or any bad obstetric history.

The differences were f... view moreĀ»
