Serum amyloid A as a diagnostic marker for histologic chorioamnionitis in preterm premature rupture of membranes: A diagnostic accuracy study [PDF]
Background: Chorioamnionitis is an acute inflammation of the fetal membrane in mothers with preterm premature rupture of the membrane (PPROM). The diagnosis of chorioamnionitis is based on clinical findings; however, laboratory tests may help diagnose ...

Prevalence and associated factors of chorioamnionitis among women with preterm premature rupture of membranes at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital, Southwestern Uganda [PDF]
Background Chorioamnionitis is a frequent complication of preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) and contributes substantially to adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, data on the burden and determinants of chorioamnionitis among women
