Results

Of 56 diagnosed patients, 42 were analyzed. Pregnancy was prolonged beyond 48 h without exacerbation in 71.9% of the women in a U/Mh-only group compared with 30.0% in the other bacterial group (P=0.03). However, pregnancy was not significantly prolonged beyond 168 h in the U/Mh-only group compared with that in the other bacterial group (28.1% vs. 0%, P=0.09).

Primary outcome was the proportion of patients in which the interval from the diagnosis of infection to delivery exceeded 48 h without exacerbation of IAI, as compared between the U/Mh-only and other bacteria groups. Exacerbation of IAI was defined as an amniotic fluid IL-6 concentration exceeding the pre-treatment level at 48+-12 h after diagnosis or 36 h before. If no amniocentesis was performed within 48+-12 h after diagnosis, the values before and after this interval were connected by a straight line, and the intersection with 48 h was used as the post-treatment value.
Secondary outcome was assessed at the same interval, but extended to 168 h. Exacerbation of IAI was defined as an amniotic fluid IL-6 concentration exceeding the pre-treatment level at 168+-17 h after diagnosis or before 151 h. If no amniocentesis was performed within 168+-17 h after diagnosis, the values before and after this interval were connected by a straight line, and the intersection with 168 h was used as the post-treatment value.
