Abstract This study aimed to determine the incidence and clinical outcomes for varying patterns of placental histological inflammation (consistent with fetal or maternal inflammatory response) in an unselected population of >1000 women with a singleton pregnancy resulting in live birth delivering at or near term. One thousand one hundred nineteen cases were studied in a blind, prospective, unselected study with placentas categorized into five histological subgroups reflecting underlying maternal or fetal inflammatory response. Clinical outcomes studied included interventional delivery, an Apgar score
