The rates of chorioamnionitis and PPROM were significantly higher in the amniocentesis group (17 versus 2%, <i>p</i> = .0008 and 26 versus 13%, <i>p</i> = .03 respectively).
Our findings demonstrate that commonly used US markers were similar in pregnancies complicated by PPROM between women delivered for suspected chorioamnionitis and those delivered for other indications, and performed poorly in predicting adverse neonatal outcomes.This article is protected by copyright.All rights reserved.
These results show differences in fetal heart rate variability, suggesting that cCTG could be used clinically to diagnoses chorioamnionitis during the pPROM latency period.
