Table 2 The levels of blood inflammatory markers. Data are presented as medians (interquartile ranges). Group I, patients with diagnosed histological chorioamnionitis; Group II, patients without diagnosed histological chorioamnionitis
Blood inflammatory marker | Group I (n = 52) | Group II (n = 85) | p-value |

Neutrophils (cells x 109/L) | 12 (9.75–13.9) | 7.5 (6.1–9.44) | < 0.001 |
Lymphocytes (cells x 109/L) | 1.5 (1.13–1.9) | 2 (1.6–2.4) | < 0.001 |
C-reactive protein (mg/L) | 15.5 (8.71–38.38) | 3.66 (2.23–6.73) | < 0.001 |
