Fetal Inflammatory Response Syndrome (FIRS) is the fetal counterpart of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) described in adults. When the fetus is directly exposed to inflammation of the fetal membranes or the placental-fetal circulation, and organs are adversely affected, the disorder is known as FIRS. This syndrome can significantly affect multiple organs with significant short and long term implications for the newborn.

Background: The correlation between procoagulant levels-factor VIII (FVIII), von Willebrand factor (vWF), and fibrinogen-and risk of thrombosis has been well documented in adult populations. We hypothesize that interaction of passively transferred isoagglutinins in premature neonates with a compromised immune system may trigger an immune response that can target the immature gastrointestinal tract. The objective of this study is to evaluate if there are procoagulant level differences in preterm newborns stratified by ABO blood group.

Objective: To evaluate asphyxial patterns in term encephalopathic newborns caused by chorioamnionitis or intrapartum blood loss that resulted in cerebral palsy and allegations of obstetrical professional liability.
Study Design: As an expert witness, JKM identified term newborns with profound neurologic impairment: 18 born in the presence of chorioamnionitis and 14 with significant anemia.
Result: In both study groups, profound depression with low 10-min Apgars was associated with early-onset seizures (88%), multiorgan failure (94%) and a partial prolonged injury to the cortex and subcortical white matter (94%).
