Abstract
- Chorioamnionitis is an important cause of preterm delivery. Data on neurodevelopmental outcome in exposed infants are inconsistent due to difficulties in diagnosing intrauterine infection/inflammation and lack of detailed long-term follow-up. We investigate cognitive and motor function in preterm infants at early school age and relate the findings to bacteria in amniotic fluid obtained by amniocentesis (microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity (MIAC)) or placenta findings of histological chorioamnionitis (HCA) or fetal inflammatory response syndrome (FIRS). Sixty-six infants with gestational age
