Maternal and neonatal characteristics of preterm prelabor rupture of membrane pregnancies according to the presence or absence of microbial-associated intraamniotic inflammation, sterile intraamniotic inflammation and MIAC alone.

Abbreviations: IAI: Intraamniotic inflammation, MIAC: microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity, IL-6: Interleukin 6, CRP: C-reactive protein, WBC: White blood cells. Statistically significant results are marked in bold. p-value: the comparison among four groups. Continuous variables were compared using the Kruskal-Wallis test (exact 2-tailed p-value). Categorical variables were compared using the Fisher’s exact test (exact 2-tailed p-value). p-value*: the comparison among women with microbial-associated intraamniotic inflammation, microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity alone, and negative women. Continuous variables were compared using the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test. Categorical variables were compared using a chi-square test.
