Background: latent period of pre labor rupture of membranes is the period between ruptures and beginning of labor pain. Aim of the work: To evaluate and compare the effects home and hospital management on latent period of prelabor rupture of membranes. Patients and methods: The study was done at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt from June 2021 to January 2022. A total of 170 female patients with pre labor rupture of membranes >37 weeks were randomly assigned into two groups; 85 pregnant women with pre labor rupture of membranes discharged to home versus 85 pregnant women were admitted at hospital. Results: home management for women with PROM, has longer latent period versus hospital management group (P = 0.023) with significant statistically difference between two groups while other complications (chorioamnionitis, CS deliveries, admissions to NICU) were insignificant statistically difference between them. Conclusion: regarding to hospital managements for females with PROM there is slightly higher rate of (maternal complication like (chorioamnionitis), slightly higher rate of CS deliveries, and neonatal complication which required admissions to NICU) than home management, but with no significant statistically difference. Regarding home managements for females with PROM, they had longer latent period from rupture of amniotic membranes till labor pain.
