Objective To investigate the efficacy of nifedipine combined with ritodrine hydrochloride for the treatment of patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and its influence on peripheral blood inflammatory cytokines. Methods A total of 146 preterm PROM patients were selected as the research subjects, and they were divided into study group or routine group by the random number table method, with 73 cases in each group. The routine group was treated with Magnesium Sulfate Injection and Ritodrine Hydrochloride Tablets, based on which the study group was treated with nifedipine. The efficacy, maternal and infant relevant indices (contraction inhibition time, prolongation of gestational age, neonatal Apgar score, neonatal birth weight), pre⁃ and post⁃treatment inflammatory cytokines (high mobility group protein B1 [HMGB1], soluble Toll⁃like receptor 4 [sTLR4], oxidized α1⁃antitrypsin [ox⁃AAT]) levels, as well as the incidence rate of complications in neonates, and the occurrence of adverse reactions in patients during treatment were compared between the two groups. Results The study group exhibited a higher total effective rate, shorter contraction inhibition time, longer prolongation of gestational age, a higher score of neonatal Apgar, and greater birth weight as compared with the routine group (P<0.05). After treatment, the study group yielded lower levels of serum HMGB1, sTLR4, ox⁃AAT as compared with before treatment and the routine group (P<0.05); furthermore, the study group interpreted a lower total incidence rate of neonatal complications as compared with the routine group (P<0.05); however, there was no statistically significant difference in the total incidence rate of adverse reactions in patients between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Nifedipine combined with ritodrine hydrochloride for the treatment of preterm PROM patients can prolong time for gestational age, relieve inflammation responses, and ameliorate pregnancy outcomes, and there is no significantly increased adverse reactions.
