Risk Factors for Histologic Chorioamnionitis Among Women with Prenatal Fever During Preterm Delivery: A Retrospective Cohort Study
HCA significantly increases the risks of neonatal sepsis and congenital infection in preterm infants. A prolonged PPROM-fever interval (> 24 h) and a maternal WBC ≥11×10<sup>9</sup>/L are key predictive factors for the need for active obstetric intervention. This study provides evidence-based cutoff values for clinical decision-making in preterm pregnancies with fever, potentially improving maternal and neonatal outcomes through timely intervention.
