Risk Factors for Chorioamnion Infection and Adverse Pregnancy Outcome Among Military Women

Abstract

Cervicovaginal ureaplasmal infection alone is not predictive of premature birth. Only a subpopulation of women infected in the lower genital tract are at risk for chorioamnion invasion and premature birth. The major goal of the proposed study is to identify microbiologic factors that predispose to and/or predict chorioamnion invasion and premature birth. This study will determine if the presence of bacterial vaginosis is a risk factor for ureaplasmal invasion of the chorioamnion. 243 women have been enrolled to date.
