Popis: Background: Chorioamnionitis (chorio) has a profound effect on neonatal outcomes, but previous meta-analyses examining therapy with antibiotics in preterm labour or PPROM, included infants near to term. We assessed the influence of prophylactic antibiotic therapy on infants ≤34 weeks GA, who are more susceptible to the complications of prematurity.
