Effect of gestational age at first delivery and interpregnancy interval on the recurrence of clinical chorioamnionitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is an increased odds of having a recurrence of clinical chorioamnionitis in patients with a diagnosis of clinical chorioamnionitis compared with those without clinical chorioamnionitis in a previous pregnancy.
