NEONATAL MORTALITY IN RELATION TO BIRTH WEIGHT
730 low birth weight (LBW) neonates and 1460 controls were selected from 13,123 neonates born from October 1988 to June 1989 in 17 hospitals and maternity units in Tehran, and were compared for mortality in the first seven and up to 28 days of life (early neonatal period). In this study all low birth weight newborns are divided according to four sub-groups of birth weight, and the mortalit...
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 کاملWeight-for-length relationship at birth to predict neonatal diseases.
CONTEXT Intrauterine growth curves are extremely useful for classifying newborn children and predicting neonatal diseases. However, such curves rely on knowledge of the gestational age, which is not always easily obtained. Therefore, the study of other anthropometric measurements and their interrelationship is always desirable, in order to attain such objectives. OBJECTIVE To evaluate whether...
متن کاملdetection of low birth - weight new borns by anthropometric measurements in iran
birth weight is an important indicator of child survival. appropriate and timely care of a newborn specially if he or she is born with low birth weight is important but this is difficult in developing countries since most of the deliveries are conducted at home where adequate facilities to weight a new born does not exist. this study was conducted to find out a surrogate which could efficiently...
متن کاملEffect of parental anthropometric parameters on neonatal birth weight and birth length.
Data on 550 healthy pregnant women, 550 healthy fathers and their healthy term neonates born from singleton pregnancies (37(+0) through 41(+6) week) during a one-year period were reviewed. Maternal mean age was 27.7 +/- 9.37 years, mean pregestational weight 64.0 +/- 9.50 kg, mean gestational weight gain 15.4 +/- 4.33 kg, mean height 169.7 +/- 5.81 cm, and mean gestational age 40.1 +/- 0.95 wee...
