Abstract
Previous studies suggest postnatal blood pressure in preterm infants to be decreased by chorioamnionitis and increased by antenatal steroids (AS). We examined the adjusted effects of both antenatal modulators on postnatal blood pressure (BP), with separate effects reported for histologic chorioamnionitis with or without fetal involvement and timing of AS. General characteristics, BP, and heart rate values during the first 72 h after birth were obtained from 271 infants with gestational age
