Barometric pressure changes are thought to possibly affect premature rupture of the membranes. One hundred nine patients with this obstetric complication lived within an area small enough to be subject to the same barometric pressure changes; onset of labor was used as a comparison point in 109 control patients. The two groups did not differ when demographic data were compared. There were no differences in other obstetric complications or neonatal outcome. There was a significant increase, however, in premature membrane rupture within three hours after a fall in barometric pressure. No such increase in the onset of labor was seen in the control group.
气压变化被认为可能影响胎膜早破。109例患有这种产科并发症的患者居住在一个足够小的区域内，该区域会受到相同的气压变化影响；将109例对照患者的分娩开始时间作为比较点。比较人口统计学数据时，两组没有差异。其他产科并发症或新生儿结局也没有差异。然而，在气压下降后三小时内，胎膜早破显著增加。对照组未观察到分娩开始时间有此类增加。
