Clinical Trial: Chorioamnionitis and Proinflammatory S100A12
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Observational
Official Title: Impact of Chorioamnionitis on Maternal and Fetal Levels of Proinflammatory S100A12
Brief Summary: Histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) may lead to the fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS) and increased levels of proinflammatory molecules.
Detailed Summary:
Histologic chorioamnionitis (HCA) may lead to the fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS). The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate S100A12, a marker of innate immune activation, in mothers with or without HCA and in their infants.
Concentrations of S100A12, Interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were evaluated in maternal, cord, and neonatal blood of very preterm infants. Histologic examinations of placentae and umbilical cords were performed.
