We conclude that there is no advantage to delaying induction of labor when women present at term with spontaneous rupture of membranes.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Spontaneous membrane rupture has been associated with an incompetent cervix - producing 'forewater' rupture - multiple births, foetal distress, chorioamnionitis, and breech presentation. Links: management[gpnotebook.com]

The efficacy of corticosteroid use at 32–33 completed weeks is unclear based on available evidence, but treatment may be beneficial particularly if pulmonary immaturity is documented.[sharinginhealth.ca]
Treatment for Rupture of Membranes There is no treatment for rupture of membranes. For some women, this process can begin around the week 38 or 39. For others, your baby may wait until week 41 or 42.[babymed.com]
In pregnancies in which ROM occurred before 20 weeks, the prognosis was poor. In this group, later age at delivery did not confer a survival advantage.[nature.com]

Midtrimester (13-26 wk) PPROM has a poor prognosis, although more recent studies have reported better outcome.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Generally, amnioinfusion is used to prevent the poor prognosis of the condition. However, the present study avoided the infusion because of its proven fetal anomalies 6.[ispub.com]
Moreover, neonatal intensive care has improved dramatically in recent years, and the prognosis for infected neonates is not so unfavorable as previously reported.[glowm.com]

Giving women in high-risk situations (like SRoM for longer than 18 hours) antibiotics when in labour can prevent most newborn GBS infection. In these women, giving antibiotics in labour reduces the risk of GBS from 1 in 476 to 1 in 8351.[newcastle-hospitals.org.uk]
