Abstrakt: An abstract of the article "Intrapartum fever and neonatal encephalopathy" is presented. This study aims to analyze and investigate the effect of fever as a risk factor for neonatal encephalopathy through univariate analysis. It uses logistic regression to adjust the intrapartum risk factors determining the adverse neonatal outcome. The antenatal risk factors that are found to be associated with fever includes nulliparity, induction of labor, and longer labor.
