message: I have learned that PROM means Prelabour Rupture Of Membranes, 
and that PPROM means Preterm Prelabour Rupture Of Membranes. The word "premature" is not a good word to use here because it opens up for various misunderstandings. The article should be rewritten without using "premature". The words Preterm and Prelabour are self-explanatory and makes it easier to understand what this is about. This means that the name of the whole article entry should be changed.

replies: text: I fully agree: The title of the article should be "prelabor rupture of membranes". The search of "premature rupture of membranes" should be redirected to "prelabor rupture of membranes.--Emisanle (talk) 6:30, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

message: I have started editing this article and over the next few weeks will be attempting to clean up some of the errors and ambiguity that has been previously mentioned on this talk page. I plan to reorganize and add updated information using Beckmann's Obstetrics and Gynecology, Williams Obsetetrics, and Current Diagnosis & Treatment textbooks as well as the updated ACOG practice bulletin, cochrane reviews and meta analyses. If anyone is watching this page, please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions. Thanks. Dorafriedman (talk) 00:24, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

message: Hi Dorafriedman. You've done a wonderful job restructuring the article to follow the Wiki Medicine Manual of Style more closely. I think there has obviously been a lot of great effort to make the language more accessible and simple, though I think sometimes this results in unnecessarily complex sentences. For example, the first line of the lead has over 60 words and 6 commas, and can be a bit difficult to follow. Since I think including definitions for more complicated terms or concepts can be helpful, perhaps it'd be helpful to break some of the longer sentences into two distinct sentences. It also seems to get a bit more medical jargon-y and technical towards the diagnosis/management sections, which tend to be heavily read sections other than the lead. I think you added some very meaningful references, including the Beckmann book, various ACOG practice bulletins, and Cochrane reviews. Perhaps I'm misreading, but it seems like some of these are cited multiple times, such as reference 1 and 11 referring to the same Obstetrics & Gynecology Practice bulletin 139, and Beckmann being referenced twice (I realize they are different years, but maybe using the most recent one would be more valuable, if that information is still there?). Overall I think you've really done a lot of improve the content of this article, and I'm sure everyone who will access this important article in the future appreciates it! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sho2014  (talk • contribs) 05:01, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Whit here, I thought those were good points raised by the peer reviewer. Simplifying the first sentence and cleaning up the references would be useful. Do you think it is worth putting information in the lead that PROM is significant and that it is a reason to contact the people taking care of you during pregnancy? Overall I think this is a valuable article and will be much improved from the efforts of dorafriedman.Emwhitaker (talk) 19:18, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thanks for the feedback! I have gone through to try to simplify complex sentences. I agree that some of the pathophysiology and management becomes pretty detailed, but I have tried to subdivide so that readers can easily skip what they are not interested in. Does the outline make sense? any ideas on how to make it even more navigation friendly? There are two references to Beckman because only parts of the chapters on this topic were available online, but together the whole topic is covered. The 6th edition is still pretty recent and I think the information there is valid and agrees with ACOG and other texts. I have also attempted to clear up and expand the lead adding what I think is most important to know, but this is definitely a section that could use more input.

message: Hey guys! Great job!! Seems like you guys made a solid amount of edits with great sources! Everything looks really good to me!
One thing that did stand out is the description of the latency period. A typical reader may be confused by the explanation there so it may be helpful to describe the relationship without relying on the understanding of 'inverse relationships.' However overall it seems like you guys made a significant improvement!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hpot90 (talk • contribs) 21:53, 15 November 2017 (UTC)
