Although sex-related differences in placental vascular pathology have been described, their influence on intra-amniotic inflammation and placental inflammatory responses in pregnancies complicated by preterm prelabor rupture of membranes (PPROM) remains poorly understood.</div></div><div><h3>Objective</h3><div>To determine whether fetal sex is associated with differences in the intensity of the intra-amniotic inflammatory response, the distribution of intra-amniotic categories defined according to the presence or absence of microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity and intra-amniotic inflammation, acute placental inflammatory lesions, and short-term neonatal outcomes in PPROM.</div></div><div><h3>Study design</h3><div>This retrospective cohort study included 852 singleton pregnancies complicated by PPROM between 23 + 0 and 36 + 6 weeks of gestation that underwent transabdominal amniocentesis. Pregnancies complicated by maternal hypertensive disorders or diabetes mellitus were excluded from the analysis. The intra-amniotic inflammatory response was assessed by amniotic fluid interleukin-6 levels. Placental inflammatory lesions were evaluated according to the histopathological criteria described by Salafia et al.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>The distribution of intra-amniotic categories (<em>P</em> = 0.28) and amniotic fluid interleukin-6 levels did not differ between pregnancies carrying female and male fetuses. The prevalence of most acute placental inflammatory lesions was comparable between the groups. However, pregnancies carrying female fetuses had a higher prevalence of early-stage funisitis (11% vs. 5%; <em>P</em> = 0.002).

However, female fetuses exhibited a higher prevalence of early-stage funisitis, suggesting that fetal sex may modulate the earliest histopathological manifestation of the fetal inflammatory response despite comparable intra-amniotic inflammatory exposure.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20203,"journal":{"name":"Placenta","volume":"183 ","pages":"Pages 136-143"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148963587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
