Article Synopsis
- Cervicovaginal inflammation can lead to serious reproductive health issues like HIV acquisition and cervical cancer, but its relationship with the vaginal microbiome remains underexplored.
- This study analyzed samples from 43 Canadian women to uncover the links between inflammation and changes in the microbiome, identifying lower levels of beneficial bacteria (L. crispatus) and higher levels of immune cells (APCs) in inflamed samples.
- Findings suggested that inflammation affects bacterial metabolism and immune protein levels, indicating a need for further research on how these factors might impact reproductive health, including HIV transmission and cancer risk.
Objective: To describe the early neurodevelopmental outcomes following fetal exposure to previable preterm prelabour rupture of membranes (pPPROM).
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a subgroup of neonates born following pPPROM from a retrospective cohort study (2009-2015). Surviving infants who underwent standardized neurodevelopmental evaluation at 18-24 months corrected age (CA) between 2017 and 2019 were eligible for inclusion.
