| Abstract |
|
We assessed the relationship between neonatal hypoglycemia and newborn iron status in hypoglycemic large-for-gestational age, euglycemic large for gestational age and euglycemic appropriate for gestational age infants that were admitted to the department of Pediatrics, Koryo General Hospital from July 1989 to June 1990. The results are as follows;
1) The incidence of large for gestational age infants was 3.3% (32 count of 991) and the incidence of gestational diabetic mother was 12.1% (4 count of 32).
2) Gestational age was 40-41 weeks in all cases, mean of birth weight was 4.3 kg in hypoglycemic large for gestational age, 4.1 kg in euglycemic large for gestational age and 3.3 kg in euglycemic appropriate for gestational age.
3) Mean hemoglobin was 16.9mg% in hypoglycemic large for gestational age, 14.9mg% in euglycemic large for gestational age and 14.7 gm% in euglycemic appropriate for gestational age.
4) Iron content was significantly lower in hypoglycemic large for gestational age than euglycemic large for gestational age and appropriate for gestational age (p<0.05), serum TIBC and Transferrin were significantly higher in hypoglycemic large for gestational age than euglycemic large for gestational age and appropriate for gestational age (p<0.05).
5) Mid-arm circumference to head circumference ratio was significantly higher in hypoglycemic large for gestational age than euglycemic large for gestational age and appropriate for gestational age (p<0.05). |
