Although it is crucial to be predicted due to neonatal worse prognosis, it cannot be predicted by middle cerebral and umbilical artery Doppler evaluation.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the predictability of clinical chorioamnionitis by Doppler changes in fetal mid- dle cerebral and umbilical arteries, at hospitalized patients due to preterm premature rupture of mem- branes. STUDY DESIGN: Patients who were admitted and hospitalized due to preterm premature rupture of membranes between 24 weeks and 33 weeks and 6 days pregnancies are included in the study. Demographic data of patients, gestational age at referring to hospitalization, fetal presentation at admis- sion, delivery time, delivery indications and total follow-up time until delivery of each case were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 108 patients were evaluated retrospectively. The rate of clinical chorioamnionitis was 5.55% (6/108). There was no significant difference between pregnancies terminated with the diag- nosis of clinical chorioamnionitis and pregnancies terminated with other indications in terms of the max- imum systolic velocity at the middle cerebral artery and umbilical artery pulsatility indices. CONCLUSION: Clinical chorioamnionitis is a serious complication and is more common in patients being followed up after preterm premature rupture of membranes. Although it is crucial to be predicted due to neonatal worse prognosis, it cannot be predicted by middle cerebral and umbilical artery Doppler evaluation.
