ACOG Clinical Practice Update: Update on Criteria for Suspected Diagnosis of Intraamniotic Infection. Obstetrics & Gynecology 144(1):p e17-e19, July 2024. | DOI: 10.1097/AOG.0000000000005593
This Clinical Practice Update provides guidance on the diagnostic criteria used in a clinical setting in which intraamniotic infection is suspected. This document updates Committee Opinion No. 712, Intrapartum Management of Intraamniotic Infection (Obstet Gynecol 2017;130:e95–101). For this Clinical Practice Update, the diagnosis of suspected intraamniotic infection is made when the maternal temperature is greater than or equal to 39.0°C or when the maternal temperature is 38.0–38.9°C and one additional clinical risk factor is present. The diagnosis of suspected intraamniotic infection may also be made in the absence of maternal fever when other associated clinical signs and symptoms are present.
