Histological Chorioamnionitis is not Associated with Cognitive Outcome at 5 Years in Low Birth Weight Children

Background and Aims: Prenatal inflammation and the fetal inflammatory response have been associated with preterm birth and subsequent neonatal lung and brain disorders. However, there is a paucity of information about the relation between prenatal infections and cognitive outcome in preterm children. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of prenatal inflammation on cognitive outcome at 5 years corrected age in low birthweight children.
