Predictors of anemia and iron status at birth in neonates born to women carrying multiple fetuses
Pediatric Research Jun 21, 2018
Ru Y, et al. - Researchers in this study characterized and identified determinants of anemia and iron status at birth in neonates born to women carrying multiple fetuses. They utilized umbilical cord blood obtained from 183 neonates to evaluate hemoglobin (Hb), ferritin (SF), soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR), hepcidin, serum Fe, erythropoietin, folate, vitamin B-12, C-reactive protein, and interleukin-6. It was observed that screening for Fe status in neonates born to women carrying multiple fetuses was warranted, particularly for those born to smokers or to women who were obese at entry into pregnancy.
