Fetal inflammatory response syndrome and neonatal clinical outcomes / 中国小儿急救医学

ABSTRACT

Fetal inflammatory response syndrome(FIRS) is a state of systemic inflammatory response in the fetus, induced by infectious and non-infectious pathways, with increased levels of cytokines represented by interleukin-6.Chorioamnionitis and funisitis are common placental pathological changes of FIRS.FIRS can not only lead to premature birth, but also is closely related to multiple organ damage such as brain injury, lung injury, early-onset sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis, and cardiovascular system diseases during the neonatal period.Therefore, reducing the damage caused by FIRS to neonates is a common clinical problem that obstetricians and pediatricians will face together.
