Samenvatting

Objective: We investigated whether histological chorioamnionitis is associated with an adverse neonatal hearing outcome. Methods: Two cohorts of very preterm newborns (n = 548, gestational age ≤ 32.0 weeks) were linked to placental histology and automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) outcome. Results: In multivariable analyses, an abnormal AABR was not predicted by the presence of histological chorioamnionitis, either with or without fetal involvement (OR 1.4, 95% CI 0.5 - 3.8, p = 0.54 and OR 1.1, 95% CI 0.4-3.0, p = 0.79, respectively). Significant predictors of abnormal AABR included, e.g. birth weight (per kg increase: OR 0.2, 95% CI 0.0-0.6, p = 0.006), umbilical cord artery pH (per 0.1 increase: OR 0.7, 95% CI 0.5-0.9, p = 0.005) and mechanical ventilation (OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.2-11.6, p = 0.03). Conclusions: Histological chorioamnionitis was not associated with an adverse neonatal hearing outcome in two cohorts of very preterm newborns. Indicators of a complicated neonatal clinical course were the most important predictors of an abnormal hearing screening.

Financiering

The study in Rotterdam was part of a research project on chorioamnionitis and neonatal outcome that was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee for Research on Human Subjects of the Erasmus University MC [14]. Written parental consent was obtained. For the Veldhoven cohort a waiver for ethical assessment and parental consent was provided by the local Medical Ethical Committee of the Máxima Medical Centre according to Dutch law, considering the retrospective and anonymized use of routinely collected medical data [16].
