The association between clinical chorioamnionitis and increased risk of cerebral palsy (CP) in term and near-term infants was determined in 109 children with CP not due to postnatal brain injury or developmental abnormalities compared to 218 controls, in a study at University of California, San Francisco, and Kaiser Permanente Division of Research, Oakland, CA.
