Abstract: | Objective. To assess whether chorioamnionitis is associated with cerebral palsy (CP) or death at 2 years' corrected age in infants born before 32 weeks of gestation after spontaneous birth. Study design. EPIPAGE-2 is a national, prospective, population-based cohort study of children born preterm in France in 2011; recruitment periods varied by gestational age. This analysis includes infants born alive after preterm labor or preterm premature rupture of membranes from 240/7 to 316/7 weeks of gestation. We compared the outcomes of CP, death at 2 years' corrected age, and “CP or death at age 2” according to the presence of either clinical chorioamnionitis or histologic chorioamnionitis. All percentages were weighted by the duration of the recruitment period. Results. Among 2252 infants born alive spontaneously before 32 weeks of gestation, 116 (5.2%) were exposed to clinical chorioamnionitis. Among 1470 with placental examination data available, 639 (43.5%) had histologic chorioamnionitis. In total, 346 infants died before 2 years and 1586 (83.2% of the survivors) were evaluated for CP at age 2 years. CP rates were 11.1% with and 5.0% without clinical chorioamnionitis (P = .03) and 6.1% with and 5.3% without histologic chorioamnionitis (P = .49). After adjustment for confounding factors, CP risk rose with clinical chorioamnionitis (aOR 2.13, 95% CI 1.12-4.05) but not histologic chorioamnionitis (aOR 1.21, 95% 0.75-1.93). Neither form was associated with the composite outcome “CP or death at age 2.” Conclusions. Among infants very preterm born spontaneously, the risk of CP at a corrected age of 2 years was associated with exposure to clinical chorioamnionitis but not histologic chorioamnionitis. |
