OBJECTIVE Evaluation of the relationship between umbilical coiling index (UCI) and adverse perinatal outcome. METHOD A prospective study was performed on 699 pregnant women who were 37-40 weeks. UCI was determined by dividing the total number of the complete vascular coiling by the total umbilical cord length in centimeters. Then the relationship between UCI and neonatal weight, amniotic flui...

OBJECTIVE To estimate the association between an Apgar score of less than 7 at 5 minutes after birth and long-term cognitive function. METHODS A linkage between the Swedish Medical Birth Registry and the Swedish School Grade Registry was performed. All singletons born from 1973 to 1986 after 36 6/7 weeks of gestation to Swedish-born women were included. Fetuses that were stillborn, newborns w...

A simplified clinical method of assessment of the baby soon after birth was evaluated and compared with the cord blood pH and 1 min Apgar score. The assessment recorded cry, respiration, colour, activity, reflex response, and cord pulsation. Sixty-two neonates born at term by normal vaginal delivery with 1 min Apgar score of 0-6 (n = 31) and 7-10 (n = 31) were studied. Linear correlation coeffi...

introduction: the risk of morbidity and mortality increases in neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care units (nicus). various factors contribute to the prognosis of these newborns. in the current study, we aimed to investigate the role of mode of delivery on short-term neonatal outcomes. methods: this retrospective study was conducted on 215 neonates admitted to the nicu of shohada-e-t...

Background: Addiction in pregnant women causes complications such as abortion, asphyxia and cerebral and physical problems. APGAR score assesses vital signs and birth weight and represents the physical and brain growth of newborns. In this study, the effects of opium addiction in mothers on birth weight and APGAR scores of neonates were discussed.Methods: This study analytic, descriptive study ...
