Objective: We aimed to do a study in the use of the identification of Placental Alpha Micro Globulin-l or PAMG-l, in the form of Amnisure® test, as a method to diagnose rupture of membrane (ROM), compared with other conventional method (direct visualization and nitrazine test). Method: We used a cross-sectional design. Every pregnant woman who came to our hospital with gestational age of 14 …
