Table 2 Urine/protein ratios before and after amniotomy

N=63	Pre ROM	Post ROM	P
UPr/Cr	0.34±0.83	1.3±2.5	<0.001
UPR/Cr >0.3	14/63 (21.5%)	41/63 (65%)	<0.001

Notes: Data are mean±standard deviation. Pre ROM is the value before amniotomy. PostROM is the value after amniotomy.

Abbreviations: Pre ROM, pre rupture of membranes; Post ROM, post rupture of membranes.
