Premature rupture of membranes (PROM) is the rupture of the amniotic membranes before delivery or when the cervix is less than 3 cm dilated, and in multiparas, less than 5 cm dilated. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the incidence of premature rupture of membranes or PROM ranges from 5 to 10% of all births. Preterm PROM occurs in 1% of all pregnancies and 70% of PROM cases occur in term pregnancies. In 30% of cases, PROM can cause infection. The incidence of KPD at Ratu Zalecha Hospital was 137 cases out of a total of 623 women giving birth and was ranked first among pathological birth cases. Meanwhile, the results of a preliminary study conducted by researchers showed that there were 309 cases of KPD from January to October 2023, 10 cases of postpartum hemorrhage, and 210 cases of preeclampsia. To understand the relationship between the interpregnancy interval and the occurrence of premature rupture of membranes in delivering mothers at Ratu Zalecha Martapura Regional General Hospital. This study is a quantitative analysis with a cross-sectional approach. The sampling technique employed is total sampling, with a sample size of 309 postpartum mothers. The analysis utilizes the chi-square test formulsa or Fisher's exact test if the expected value is <5. There were 248 respondents (80.3%) who had a history of a pregnancy interval of ≥2 years in their previous pregnancy, 171 respondents (55.3%) had not experienced premature rupture of membranes in their previous birth history. The chi-square test result showed a p-value of 0.026 (<0.05), indicating rejection of the null hypothesis (Ho). There is a relationship between pregnancy distance and the incidence of premature rupture of membranes at Ratu Zalecha Hospital, Martapura.
