Chorioamnionitis at latent phase more than doubles the risk for cesarean delivery compared to chorioamnionitis at active phase.

Women with chorioamnionitis had a high rate of CD. Nulliparity and onset of fever prior to active labor were the strongest independent predictors of CD. It remains to be determined whether those deemed at high risk for failed trial of labor, should undergo CD earlier in the course of labor to improve chorioamnionitis-related outcomes.
