Definitions synthesized for chorioamnionitis based on the systematic literature review. (Two definitions for clinical chorioamnionitis were developed to correlate with the more specific definition for intraamniotic infection (or “Triple I”) from the NICHD chorioamnionitis workship (Clinical definition A), and with the more sensitive Gibbs criteria for chorioamnioitis (Clinical definition B). Please see Section 1.3.4 for further details.)
