It might result from different factors like
premature rupture of membrane, anemia, preterm delivery, cesarean delivery and uterine manipulations for the other complications.

The adverse perinatal outcomes were as follows: preterm birth, which was defined as any spontaneous delivery before 37 completed gestational weeks (<259 days); preterm labour, which was defined as labour (regular uterine contractions resulting in changes in the cervix including effacement and dilatation) before 37 completed gestational weeks (<259 days); and preterm
premature rupture of membranes (PPROM), which was defined as rupture of the membranes before the onset of labour occurring before 37 completed gestational weeks (<259 days).

premature rupture of membranes. Am J Obstet Gynecol 1996; 174:1371-6.
Premature rupture of membranes affects 10% of term pregnancies and is associated with over 60% of preterm births, making an accurate and timely diagnosis imperative.1 ROM Plus uses a monoclonal/polyclonal antibody approach to detect two amniotic proteins, AFP and PP12.
Even when duration of ruptured membranes stretched up to 4 days for latency in 10 cases of preterm
premature rupture of membranes in women on antenatal ARVs, there were no cases of vertical transmission (47).
