Significance of C-reactive protein in predicting fetal inflammatory response syndrome
Polish Gynaecology, 2015 The aim of the study was to identify and evaluate a possible correlation between C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration in maternal blood and the risk of developing fetal inflammatory syndrome (FIRS).The study included 158 infants born at 22-34 weeks of gestation and their mothers.
