Intrapartum fever and the risk for perinatal complications – the effect of fever duration and positive cultures

Abstract: Intrapartum fever was associated with adverse perinatal complications. The duration of intrapartum fever, maternal bacteremia, and positive cultures further increase this risk.

“…It has been repeatedly shown to be strongly associated with various adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Maternal complications include the need for cesarean or instrumental delivery, while a high proportion of these are indicated by labor dystocia or suspected fetal distress [2][3][4][5] . Fetal complications include neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admissions 2 , early onset neonatal sepsis 6 , low Apgar scores 2,7 , hypotonia, assisted ventilation, early-onset seizures 7 , neonatal encephalopathy 8 , hyaline membrane disease, and perinatal mortality 9 , as well as cerebral palsy in the long term 10,11 .…”

“…Maternal fever was consistently shown to be associated be associated with lower APGAR scores, signi cantly so, in the rst and third minutes following delivery. These results are not suprising and have been con rmed by other studies showing the impact of maternal fever on neonatal outcome (20), (21), (22). Mothers presenting with fever should therefore be aggressively rescusitated in the perinatal wards prior to delivery to reduce the risks of poor foetal outcomes.…”

“…The analysis of this population in our studies is an original approach. These patients are mostly excluded from other studies, although etiology or inflammation associated with fever may have consequences for them as well [ 16 , 17 ]. In this subgroup, we found a significant rate of complications (14 %), one half of the total complications, even if complications are probably most often the result of the etiology or inflammation, and not fever per se.…”
