CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we found that in addition to maternal fever, fetal and
maternal tachycardia, elevated leukocyte count and CRP were common
findings in term deliveries complicated by chorioamnionitis. Elevated
inflammatory markers were associated with both neonatal infection and
asphyxia-related complications, and fetal tachycardia additionally
predicted asphyxia-related complications. Our findings highlight the
importance of a close collaboration between obstetric and neonatal care
extending past delivery to detect maternal dynamic laboratory changes
which could impact neonatal outcomes.
