Comparison of motor development of low birth weight (LBW) infants with and without using mechanical ventilation and normal birth weight infants
Background: To determine whether using mechanical ventilation in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) influences motor development of low birth weight (LBW) infants and to compare their motor development with normal birth weight (NBW) infants at the age of 8 to 12 months using Peabody Developmental Motor Scale 2 (PDMS-2).

متن کاملAnthropometric measurements at birth as predictor of low birth weight
In developing countries, low birth weight (BW < 2500 grams) accounts for 60% 80% of neonatal deaths. Early identification and referral of LBW babies for extra essential newborn care is vital in preventing neonatal deaths. Studies carried out in different populations have suggested that the use of newborn anthropometric surrogates of birth weight may be a simple and reliable method to identify L...
متن کاملUmbilical cord blood nutrients in low birth weight babies in relation to birth weight & gestational age.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Low birth weight (LBW) babies are a vulnerable group and represent two outcomes--preterm birth (preterm LBW) and term with intrauterine growth retardation (term LBW). LBW babies are considered to have low nutrient reserve, but the extent of deficiency as compared to the normal babies and the differences between preterm LBW and term LBW are unclear. This study was carried ...
متن کاملCongenital Heart Malformations in Newborn Babies with Low Birth Weight.
UNLABELLED Congenital heart malformations represent a public health problem, holding a significant percentage of the total of heart diseases. Beside the elevated frequency of the malformations, we also notice their occurrence in newborn babies with low birth weight, increasing, thus, the risk of complications and late therapeutic approach. The goal of the study was to highlight the general and ...
متن کاملA comparative study on growth indicators of children born with low birth weight and normal birth weight in 2 years after birth.
وزن هنگام تولد در تعیین فاکتور امید به زندگی کودک و پیش بینی وضع سلامت او در آینده شاخصی بسیار حساس و سودمند بوده و می تواند مسؤول عوارض و اختلالاتی باشد که بعدها در زندگی کودک به وجود می آید. از آنجا که توجه به رشد کودکان تنها به لحاظ جلوگیری از مرگ و میر آنان دارای اهمیت نمی باشد، بلکه بیشتر از نظر پیشگیری از ابتلا به بیماریهای جسمانی، روانی و اجتماعی در آینده مهم است؛ این پژوهش با هدف مقایسه...
