Correlation of preterm infant illness severity with placental histology
KM Chisholm, A Heerema-McKenney, L Tian… - Placenta, 2016 - Elsevier
Introduction A major goal of neonatal medicine is to identify neonates at highest risk for
morbidity and mortality. Previously, we developed PhysiScore (Saria et al., 2010), a novel
tool for preterm morbidity risk prediction. We now further define links between overall
individual morbidity risk, specific neonatal morbidities, and placental pathologies. Methods
102 placentas, including 38 from multiple gestations, were available from the previously
defined PhysiScore cohort (gestational age≤ 34 weeks and birth weight≤ 2000 g) …
