Chorioamnionitis and Neonates; Which Strategy?

CONCLUSION: The use of guidelines increased the length of stay, lab tests, and antibiotics in asymptomatic and neonates with negative blood culture. In addition to the mother-neonate separation, these guidelines may increase nosocomial infection, antibiotic resistance, and costs; therefore, new guidelines are needed to be developed.
