Antibiotic administration can eradicate intra-amniotic infection or intra-amniotic inflammation in a subset of patients with preterm labor and intact membranes [PDF]

American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2019
Background: Intra-amniotic infection is present in 10% of patients with an episode of preterm labor, and is a risk factor for impending preterm delivery and neonatal morbidity/mortality. Intra-amniotic inflammation is often associated with intra-amniotic

A high concentration of fetal fibronectin in cervical secretions increases the risk of intra-amniotic infection and inflammation in patients with preterm labor and intact membranes [PDF]

Journal of Perinatal Medicine, 2019
Objective: To determine whether the risk of intra-amniotic infection/inflammation and spontaneous preterm delivery (SPTD) varies as a function of the concentration of cervical fetal fibronectin (fFN) in patients with preterm labor and intact membranes ...

Estimated time to emergence of secondary intra-amniotic infection or inflammation since the onset of the preterm premature rupture of membranes

Taiwanese Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, 2022
Objective: Prematurity is the most important prognostic factor for infants born following preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Therefore, when PPROM occurs between 22 and 33 weeks of gestation, prolonging pregnancy is recommended ...

Predictors of Severe Histological Chorioamnionitis and Associated Neonatal Outcomes in Term Intrapartum Clinical Chorioamnionitis: A Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]

Medicina
Background and Objectives: Intrapartum clinical chorioamnionitis at term is a complication associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. We aimed to identify factors independently associated with severe histological chorioamnionitis in women ...

Intra-amniotic infection: diagnosis, nomenclature, clinical significance, management, and microbiologic tools used for the diagnosis. [PDF]

Clin Microbiol Rev
SUMMARY Intra-amniotic infection is the main cause of spontaneous preterm birth and adverse maternal–fetal outcomes; therefore, rapid, robust, and accurate diagnosis remains a clinical priority.
