Objective: To evaluate and compare atherogenic indices in women with idiopathic Preterm Premature Rupture of Membranes (pPROM) and gestational age matched healthy pregnant controls. Material and methods: In the Departments of Biochemistry and Obstetrics & Gynecology at UCMS & GTBH-Delhi, a cross-sectional comparative pilot study was carried out from August 2023 to July 2024. The study comprised 60 participants: 30 women with idiopathic pPROM (26-34 weeks gestation) and 30 controls with uncomplicated pregnancies who were matched for gestational age. We computed the following atherogenic indices: non-HDL-C, Lipoprotein Combined Index (LCI), LDL-C/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, Atherogenic Coefficient (AC) and Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) and analysed the data. Results: HDL-C levels were lower in idiopathic pPROM group. TC, TG, and LDL-C levels were higher in cases of idiopathic pPROM group....
