Preterm birth is a major public health issue, affecting approximately 10% of pregnancies in the United States. A major identifiable cause of preterm birth is preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). PPROM is a pregnancy complication in which the amnion and chorion weaken and rupture prior to 37 weeks of pregnancy and before contractions have begun.
