Interaction of chorioamnionitis at term with maternal, fetal and obstetrical factors as predictors of neonatal mortality

from BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth

Interaction of chorioamnionitis at term with maternal, fetal and obstetrical factors as predictors of neonatal mortality BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth Chorioamnionitis is a frequent complication of pregnancy and is known to be associated with serious adverse post-natal outcomes including death. However, the assessment of fetal well-being in labor in the context of chorioamnionitis is often challenging because of fetal tachycardia. Identifying specific risk factors for adverse neonatal outcomes in the context of chorioamnionitis could therefore be of paramount importance. This study aimed to determine if maternal and fetal risk factors for increased neonatal mortality and early neonatal mortality are modified in the context of chorioamnionitis in term pregnancies.
