Findings In this cohort study of 8087 pregnant women with complicated appendicitis, immediate operation was associated with lower odds of infectious complications, including amniotic infection and sepsis, compared with successful and unsuccessful nonoperative management. When nonoperative management failed and...
Differences between groups were tested by using the chi-squared test. Results: When IUP was ≥200 MVUs, labours complicated with chorioamnionitis led to composite adverse neonatal outcome in 33.3% cases compared to 15.3% in labours without infection (OR 2.77, 95% CI 1.36–5.64; p = ...

Expression of CCL28 by epithelial cells, followed by an induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines/infection, helps in the recruitment of T-lymphocytes, and leads to accumulation of for example Tregs on mucosal surfaces56. CCL28 is suggested to have anti-inflammatory properties by limiting autoimmunity...
