Infection-related Intra-amniotic Complications in Women with Preterm Prelabor Rupture of Membranes
Štěpán, Martin ; Kacerovský, Marian (advisor) ; Ľubušký, Marek (referee) ; Záhumenský, Jozef (referee)
Preterm prelabor rupture of membranes before 37. weeks of gestation (PPROM) is responsible for approximately one third of all preterm deliveries. Infection-related complications in PPROM are represented by the presence of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC), intra-amniotic inflammation (IAI) and histological chorioamnionitis (HCA). The presence of these complications is found in approximately 20-50% of all cases of PPROM and is associated with worse neonatal outcomes. The first specific aim was to evaluate whether maternal serum CRP has a diagnostic value for diagnosis of MIAC and HCA. The study population consisted 386 women. CRP level was the highest in PPROM pregnancies complicated with MIAC and HCA. The second specific aim was to evaluate short-term neonatal outcome in women with PPROM before 34 weeks of gestation. The study population consisted 122 women with PPROM at gestation age 24+0 -34+0 weeks. In neonates was evaluated the influence of MIAC and HCA on neonatal outcome. The presence of both MIAC and HCA increased the risk of early onset sepsis. The third and fourth specific aim was evaluation of an association between periodontal status and infection-related intra-amniotic complications in pregnancies complicated by PPROM and/or evaluation of association between the local...
