    "abstract": "This study aimed to determine whether daily dosing of gentamicin using ideal body weight in the treatment of chorioamnionitis is effective.\nWe conducted a prospective observational study and followed all women receiving treatment for chorioamnionitis which included gentamicin daily dosing calculated using 5\u2009mg/kg ideal body weight. Patients were excluded if pathological analysis of placenta did not confirm chorioamnionitis. Our primary outcome was resolution of infection following delivery without the development of maternal endometritis and/or neonatal sepsis. Ninety-five percent confidence intervals for proportions were calculated using exact binomial tests. These patients were retrospectively compared to patients who received treatment for chorioamnionitis which included traditional gentamicin every 8\u2009h.\nThe study included 160 patients. Of the patients receiving daily dosing (n\u2009=\u200980) compared to traditional dosing (n\u2009=\u200980), 96% (95% CI 95.7-97.6%) achieved the primary outcome versus 91% (88.9-93.1%), 2.5% (95% CI 1.2-3.8%) developed endometritis versus 6.3% (4.2-8.4%), 1.3% (95% CI 0.4-2.2%) delivered neonates with sepsis versus 2.5% (1.2-3.8%), and 39% required cesarean delivery (95% CI 46.2-53.8) versus 37% (33.2-40.8%).\nDaily dosing of gentamicin using ideal body weight is effective in successful treatment of chorioamnionitis without development endometritis and/or neonatal sepsis across different ethnicities.",
