Table 2 Crude and adjusted association between EONI, clinical and histological chorioamnionitis and gestational age at delivery, antibiotics at admission, management of delivery, and routinely used infectious markers.

From: Maternal markers for detecting early-onset neonatal infection and chorioamnionitis in cases of premature rupture of membranes at or after 34 weeks of gestation: a two-center prospective study

  2. significant variables come from the final model
  3. b Coefficients for CRP and WBC were calculated from the logistic regression equation.
  4. c The FP1 transformation used for WBC because of its non-linear association with EONI was: [(WBC/10000)7.6354-1.660493995].
