Abstract

The umbilical arterial pH (UApH) in cases of clinically apparent chorioamnionitis (CAM) in which the infant later develop severe cerebral palsy (CP) has not yet been fully investigated. The objective of this study was to determine the UApH in CAM cases in which the infant later develop severe CP. A review was conducted unti1 April 2014 among 324 infants with CP diagnosed to be caused by antenatal and/or intrapartum conditions, as determined by the Japan Council for Quality Health Care. Eighty-six infants born at over 34 weeks of gestation with an abnormal FHR pattern during labor were selected. The subjects were divided into the following two groups: cases with (Group I, n = 19) and those without (Group II, n = 67) clinical CAM. Severe fetal acidemia was defined as a pH of less than 7.0. The frequency of severe acidemia in Groups 1 and II was 26.3 and 74.6 %, respectively. In addition, the frequency of severe acidemia was significantly less in Group I (odds ratio (OR) 0.12, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.03-0.53) than in Group II, while the frequency of fetal tachycardia was greater in Group I (OR 7.61, 95 % CI 1.82-31.7) than in Group II, after adjusting for confounding effects. The frequency of severe acidemia was lower in the cases of clinical CAM in which the infant later developed severe cerebral palsy than in the cases without clinical CAM. The relation of fetal tachycardia to CP with clinical CAM, but not to acidemia, should be reevaluated in such cases.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 June 2015.
All research outputs
#14,226,014
of 22,807,037 outputs
Outputs from BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
#2,706
of 4,188 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#138,339
of 266,724 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth
#48
of 68 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,807,037 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,188 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.8. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 266,724 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 68 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
