Chorioamnionitis and risk of long-term neurodevelopmental disorders in the offspring: a response

We want to thank Drs Li and Chen for their interest in our work. Our study demonstrated that chorioamnionitis increases the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly cerebral palsy (CP), autism, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and intellectual disability. Regarding the distribution of CP cases by gestational age, in our study, data on gestational age were available in 92 cases of CP exposed to chorioamnionitis, where 78 (84.78%) were born preterm and 14 (15.22%) were born at term.
