Objective: To determine maternal and perinatal complications due to premature rupture of membranes in preterm pregnancies at the Hospital Nacional María Auxiliadora, between July 2011 and June 2012. Methodology: Observational analytical case-control study. A total of 318 medical records of pregnant women with preterm pregnancies and premature rupture of membranes were reviewed to identify maternal and perinatal complications. Data collection was conducted using a structured format. Data processing and analysis were performed, and the results were presented in simple tables using the SPSS statistical package, version 18. Results: The average age ranged between 20 and 34 years. A history of previous preterm delivery was observed in 15.1%. The interpregnancy interval was greater than two years. Cervicovaginal infection was present in 54.7%. Multiparity was observed in 64.2% of patients. A total of 61.3% had more than six prenatal check-ups. The average gestational age was 34-36 weeks. The most frequent maternal complications were chorioamnionitis and cesarean delivery, at 28.3%. The most frequent perinatal complication was respiratory distress syndrome (67.9%), followed by sepsis (58.5%). Conclusions: The most frequent maternal complication was chorioamnionitis, while the most frequent perinatal complication was respiratory distress syndrome.
