Abstract
Predictive value of maternal C-reactive protein for detection of histological chorioamnionitis in women with prelabor rupture of membranes
Highlights
Chorioamnionitis can be considered as an unwanted aftermath of Prelabor rupture of the membranes (PROM) and is capable of causing considerable perinatal morbidity and mortality
The aim of our study is to investigate the predictive value of maternal C-Reactive Protein (CRP) in Obsgyne Review: Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Data analysis: Statistical analysis was done to detect the correlation between maternal CRP and histological chorioamnionitis using appropriate statistical methods
Summary
Chorioamnionitis can be considered as an unwanted aftermath of PROM and is capable of causing considerable perinatal morbidity and mortality. There is significant correlation between high CRP (>10mg/l) and maternal and neonatal morbidity. Conclusion: CRP is a significant relevant predictor of histological chorioamnionitis, maternal and neonatal morbidity. Premature or Prelabor rupture of the membranes (PROM) is defined as rupture of membranes before onset of labor, which is one of the most common complications of pregnancy. It occurs in approximately 8% of all pregnancies, and it is implicated in more than one third of preterm deliveries [1]. Risk factors of PROM include pervious history of patient, cervicovaginal and intrauterine infections
