AimThe aim of the study was to examine the predictive value of inflammatory markers for chorioamnionitis and funisitis in extremely low gestational age neonates.MethodsAccording to the Redline histopathological classification, extremely low gestational age neonates were classified into: (1) maternal inflammatory response ≤1 or ≥2, based on inflammatory findings of the placenta and (2) foetal inflammatory response ≤1 or ≥2, based on inflammatory findings of the umbilical cord. On admission and 12–36 h postnatally, procalcitonin and high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein levels and white blood cell and neutrophil counts were compared. For both maternal and foetal inflammatory responses ≥2, the predictive value of each inflammatory marker was calculated.ResultsOn admission, procalcitonin had the best predictive value for maternal and foetal inflammatory response ≥2. The maternal inflammatory response ≥2 prediction score includes procalcitonin level on admission, high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein level and white blood cell count at 12–36 h postnatally. Foetal inflammatory response ≥2 prediction score includes procalcitonin level and white blood cell count on admission and 12–36 h postnatally. The sensitivities were 96.4% and 96.3%, respectively.ConclusionProcalcitonin, high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein levels and white blood cell count provide highly sensitive prediction scores for chorioamnionitis and funisitis in extremely low gestational age neonates.
