Aim The study aims to investigate the relationship between subclinical inflammatory factors, which are known to be closely related to inflammation, with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and adverse postpartum outcomes. Materials and methods The case control type study was conducted between January 1, 2021, and January 2022. 525 pregnant women, including 272 PPROM and 253 normal patients, were added to the study. Results There was a positive relationship between PPROM and PCT (platelet crit), MPV (mean platelet volume), NLR (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio), and MLR (monocytes to lymphocyte ratio) values. ROC analysis, PCT > 0.19, MPV > 8.78, NLR > 2.82, and MLR > 0.24 were significantly related to improved risk of PPROM ( P
