Neutrophil phenotypes in prolonged labor: Implications for therapeutic strategies.

Abstract excerpt

Prolonged labor, defined as labor extending beyond 20 hours for nulliparas and 14 hours for multiparas, poses significant risks to both maternal and neonatal health. The inflammatory response plays a crucial role in the pathophysiology of prolonged labor, with neutrophils being key players in this process. Neutrophils, the most abundant leukocytes, exhibit diverse phenotypes and functions in response to prolonged...
