After adjusting for additional confounders, the significant differences were no longer evident. Cytokine levels (IL-8, IL-1beta, and TNF-alpha) were not elevated with CP or low PDI; STUDY DESIGN: Nested case-control analysis within a clinical trial of antenatal magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) before anticipated preterm birth (PTB) for prevention of CP, with evaluation of surviving children at the age of 2. NDD was defined as a Bayley psychomotor developmental index (PDI) and/or mental developmental index (MDI)<70. Controls, defined as surviving children without CP and with Bayley PDI and MDI>85, were matched by race and gestational age. Cord serum was analyzed for interleukin-8 (IL-8) interleukin-1 beta (IL-1beta), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) levels. Elevated cytokine levels were defined as>75th percentile in placebo-exposed controls. Analyses compared case/control cytokine levels, adjusting for MgSO4 exposure, gestational age, race/ethnicity, and sociodemographic differences UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1055/s-0034-1376185 ER -
