Patterns of increases in interleukin-6 and C-reactive protein as predictors for white matter injury in preterm infants

Background The aim of this study was to determine whether patterns of increases in serum interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) levels at birth were associated with the development of white matter injury (WMI) in preterm infants with a fetal inflammatory response (FIR). Methods One hundre...
