AbstractIntrapartum fever (IPF) (≥ 38.0 °C), if treated inappropriately, can lead to maternal bacteremia. In a cohort of women with IPF, we investigated perinatal, obstetrical, and microbiological outcomes, comparing those with bacteremia to those with negative blood cultures. A retrospective cohort study at a tertiary hospital (2010–2022) focused on women attempting vaginal delivery who were diagnosed with IPF. Outcomes were compared between those with bacteremia vs. negative blood cultures.
