Chorioamnionitis as a Risk Factor for Cerebral Palsy: A Meta-analysis

Article Abstract:

Chorioamnionitis appears to be a risk factor for cerebral palsy and cystic periventricular leukomalacia, which is a precursor of cerebral palsy. This was the conclusion of researchers who reviewed 26 studies of the association between chorioamnionitis and these diseases in both premature and term babies. Chorioamnionitis is an inflammation of the fetal membranes.
