Role of Zinc Supplementation in Growth and Neuro-development of Premature and Small for Gestational Age (sga) Babies
نویسنده
چکیده
Results: At birth and at six months the mean serum Zinc level in the study and control group was 0.87±0.398, 1.03±0.567, 0.88±0.248, 0.83±0.355mg/L respectively. The SZnR 6/B is significantly higher in study group as compared to controls (1.153 ± 0.55 Vs 0.913±0.438, p<0.01) suggesting better maintained serum zinc levels in zinc supplemented infants. Zinc supplemented exclusively breast fed infants had significantly higher SZnR 6/B as compared to non supplemented exclusively breast fed infants (1.555±0.654 vs 0.850±0.406,p<0.01). Further Zinc supplemented exclusively breast fed infants had significantly higher SZnR 6/B as compared both Zinc supplemented mixed and top fed infants. No effect of zinc supplementation was observed on growth, neurodevelopmental out come and morbidity pattern due to Diarrhea and ARI.

متن کاملComparisons of mortality and pre-discharge respiratory morbidities in small for gestational age and appropriate-for gestational age premature infants - An Indian Experience
Background: There is an assumption that fetus with restricted growth with an inappropriate intrauterine environment lies under stress. Although small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants have higher mortality, difference in the outcome of SGA and appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) infants regarding respiratory morbidity is controversial. It seems that respiratory morbidities in SGA neonates is ...

متن کاملPremature Babies and their Problems
It is not uncommon for babies to be both early and to have intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), which adversely affects their prognosis. IUGR is a condition where the baby's growth slows down or becomes static while still in the uterus. It is part of a wider group referred to as small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses where the fetus is smaller than expected for the gestational age. The SGA ...
