Histologic chorioamnionitis and fat mass accretion in infants born preterm
Chorioamnionitis is common in infants born preterm and is strongly associated with preterm birth. Infants born preterm exposed to chorioamnionitis have an increased risk of abnormal fat mass accretion at term equivalent age. Accounting for the severity of chorioamnionitis could improve the interpretation of body fat accretion in infants born preterm.
