Evidence of both foetal inflammation and hypoxia–ischaemia is associated with meconium aspiration syndrome

Abstract Foetal hypoxia–ischaemia is a key trigger of meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS). However, many neonates develop MAS without evidence of hypoxia–ischaemia, suggesting the presence of covert but important risk variables. We evaluated the association of MAS with clinical variables, placental h...
