Objective The main aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the maternal
white blood cell (WBC) count at the time of hospital admission in pregnancies complicated …

Objective To evaluate maternal serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations in
pregnancies complicated by preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) in relation to …

Objective To characterize subgroups of preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM)
and short-term neonatal outcomes based on the presence and absence of intraamniotic …

Objective To evaluate the inflammatory pattern in maternal circulation, amniotic cavity, cervix
and vagina from women with preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) considering …

Objective We aimed to assess the correlations among multiple cytokine concentrations in
the maternal plasma, cervicovaginal fluid (CVF), and amniotic fluid (AF) compartments in …

Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate, in women with preterm prelabor rupture of
membranes (PPROM), the impact on short‐term neonatal outcome of microbial invasion of …

Background To evaluate the influence of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC)
and histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) on the magnitude of intra-amniotic inflammatory …

Background Preterm birth is the leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality. Preterm
prelabor rupture of membranes (pPROM) occurs in 30% of preterm births; thus, this …
