Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
Introduction: Despite major advances in monitoring technology and knowledge of fetal and neonatal pathologies, perinatal asphyxia, remains a serious condition that causes significant mortality and long-term morbidity. Aims and Objectives: To measure the plasma homocysteine levels in neonates with asphyxia and their mothers. To determine the correlation between plasma homocysteine and occurrence of asphyxia. Materials and Methods: Before the beginning of the study Ethics Committee permission was taken. Informed consent was taken from mothers enrolled in the study. For all the babies in the study and control groups and their mother’s thorough history were taken and detailed clinical examination was done. Observations and Results: Twenty-four asphyxiated neonates and their mothers, 26 normal neonates and their mothers were included in the study. Of the asphyxiated babies 17 (70.8%) were males and 7 (29.2%) were females. Out of 26 control group babies, 13 (50%) were males, and 13 (50%) were females.
