KEY EXPOSURE/STUDY FACTOR: Fetal immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody to periodontal organisms. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Infant admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and total length of NICU hospitalization. MAIN RESULTS: The primary results were that infants with serological evidence of exposure (as measured by IgM antibody) to periodontal organisms had a higher rate of NICU admission when compared with seronegative infants (11% versus 5% respectively), adjusting for gestational age, and seropositive infants were more likely than seronegative infants to stay more than 3 or more than 7 days at the NICU. Similarly, NICU patterns were not detected for infant umbilical cord serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. CONCLUSIONS: The authors concluded that in utero fetal exposure to oral pathogens increases the risk for NICU admissions and length of stay. |
