The frequency of neonatal development of meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS) in the context of intra-amniotic inflammation and funisitis. Neonates exposed to both intra-amniotic inflammation and funisitis were at significantly greater risk of MAS than newborns exposed to neither of these two conditions [28.6% (4/14) vs. 0% (0/28); p = 0.009]. In contrast, newborns exposed to only intra-amniotic inflammation, without funisitis, were not at greater risk of MAS than newborns exposed to neither of these two conditions [10.9% (5/46) vs. 0% (0/28)]. MAS did not occur in the absence of the intra-amniotic inflammation.
