Fetus with IAI show a global concentric myocardial hypertrophy and fetus without IAI only present a left concentric hypertrophy when compared to the non-exposed group (table 1). To assess the influence of intra-amniotic infection and/or inflammation (IAI) on the fetal cardiac structure. The exposed group included women with preterm labour (PTL) and/or preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (PPROM) with IAI (positive amniotic fluid culture and/or high levels of IL6) (group A) and without IAI (group B).

Conclusions Fetuses with PTL or PPROM had smaller corpus callosum when compared with controls, suggesting changes in prenatal brain development of fetuses at risk of preterm delivery.

Conclusions Fetuses with PTL or PPROM had reduced Sylvian fissures when compared with controls, suggesting changes in prenatal brain development of fetuses at risk of preterm delivery. To assess the influence of intra-amniotic infection and/or inflammation (IAI) on fetal cortical development. Measures were normalised by biparietal diameter (BPD) and analysis was adjusted for EFW up to 10th centile and fetal sex. [Extracted from the article]
