Maternal and peripartum risk factors for acute funisitis among term deliveries complicated by intraamniotic infection.

In term deliveries with IAI and histologic chorioamnionitis, maternal BMI≥30kg/m, and ROM>18 hours were associated with AF on placental pathology. As insight into the clinical impact of AF grows, the ability to predict which pregnancies are at greatest risk for its development may allow for a tailored approach to predicting neonatal risk for sepsis and related comorbidity.
