Abstract Background: Preterm pre-labor rupture of the membrane is a major cause of perinatal, neonatal, and maternal morbidity and mortality both in high- and low-income countries. A woman with premature rupture of membranes is at risk of complications like intra-amniotic infection, postpartum hemorrhage, and death. Little is known about the problem in the study area, therefore, this study was designed to determine the prevalence of preterm premature rupture of membrane and its associated factors among pregnant women admitted to health facilities in ambo town.

Descriptive analyses were performed using frequencies, percentages, binary logistic regression by adjusting for confounding factors.Results: The prevalence of preterm premature rupture of membrane was found to be 22.6%. Preeclampsia (AOR=3.2, 95% CI=0.69-0.57), Economic status (AOR = 2.64 (95% CI = 1.99–6.01), current urinary tract infection (AOR = 2.42, 95% CI = 1.32–5.19), previous history of premature rupture of membrane (AOR = 2.31, 95% CI = 1.02–6.27), andanemia (AOR = 1.85, 95% CI = 0.65–4.56) were factors associated with preterm premature rupture of membrane.Conclusions: The prevalence of preterm premature rupture of membrane in the study area was high.
