Nucleated red blood cells in preterm infants with retinopathy of prematurity.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this retrospective study was to examine hematologic indices of potential intrauterine hypoxia, including circulating nucleated red blood cells, lymphocytes, and platelets in preterm infants who developed retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) compared with suitable controls. We hypothesized that higher neonatal absolute nucleated red blood cell (ANRBC) and lymphocyte counts and l...
متن کاملNucleated red blood cell count in term and preterm newborns: reference values at birth.
The prognostic value of nucleated red blood cell count at birth in relation to neonatal outcome has been established. However, reference values were needed to usefully interpret this variable. The normal range of reference values for absolute nucleated red blood cell count in 695 preterm and term newborns is reported.
متن کاملAssessment of Umbilical Cord Nucleated Red Blood Cell Count in Discharged and Dead Very Low Birth Weight Infants
Background: Predictive value of the umbilical nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) at birth for neonatal outcomes has been assessed. Hence, the present study was conducted to compare NRBC between discharged and dead neonates.Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on preterm newborns with a birth weight of < 1,500 g admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Ghaem Hospital, Ma...
متن کاملIncidence of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in Low Birth Weight Newborns
Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a common cause of blindness and accounts for up to 10% of childhood blindness in developed countries. Also Before surfactant became available in the NICU, an incidence of 11% to 60% was reported in the VLBW population. However, there are few studies on the incidence of ROP among low-birth-weight (LBW) infants in Iran and the aim of this study is d...
متن کاملNeonatal absolute nucleated red blood cell counts do not predict the development of cystic periventricular leukomalacia.
BACKGROUND Infants with severe intraventricular-periventricular hemorrhage (IVH) have higher absolute nucleated red blood cell counts (aNRBC) at birth (a marker of intrauterine hypoxia) than controls. Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is known to be associated with prenatal and postnatal events. Whether PVL is also linked to intrauterine hypoxia is unknown. OBJECTIVES To test the hypothesis ...
