[ 4 ] - Umbilical Cord Arterial Blood Gas and Apgar Score: Who Is at Higher Risk?

Background: Fetal asphyxia and the consequent neurological damages could be avoided if the risk factors are controlled at earlier stages. Umbilical cord arterial blood gas (UCABG) seems to be related to the Apgar scores, as well as the neonatal morbidity and mortality rates. Therefore, we designed this study to assess the correlation between the Apgar score and UCABG i...

[ 5 ] - Cerebral Intraventricular Hemorrhage and Interleukin-6 in Preterm Neonates
