In all newborns, funisitis and chorioamnionitis staging were correlated with cord blood TH (r = 0.59, p < 0.0001 and r = 0.64, p < 0.0001), BAP (r = 0.27, p = 0.04 and r = 0.3, p = 0.03), OSI (r = 0.5, p < 0.001 and r = 0.6, p < 0.001), and IL-6 (r = 0.79, p < 0.001 and r = 0.45, p < 0.001), respectively. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is chorioamnionitis.
