Amniotic fluid (AF) concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6 and CXCL10 in live birth and fetal death cases and in acute and chronic chorioamnionitis cases. A, AF IL-6 concentration is not different between cases with live birth and fetal death. B, The presence of acute chorioamnionitis, regardless of chronic chorioamnionitis, is associated with a robust increase in IL-6. C, Fetal death cases have a higher median AF CXCL10 concentration than live birth cases (P<0.05). D, Median AF CXCL10 concentrations are elevated in cases with isolated chronic chorioamnionitis and cases with concomitant acute and chronic chorioamnionitis, compared to cases without chorioamnionitis (P<0.05, for each). All comparisons of AF IL-6 and CXCL10 concentrations are performed after adjusting for gestational age at amniocentesis. *P<0.05; **P<0.01; ***P<0.001. AF: amniotic fluid; CCA: chronic chorioamnionitis; ACA: acute chorioamnionitis.
