This study examined hematological parameters in neonates and infants. Cord blood hemoglobin was lower in specific conditions, while white blood cell counts showed high variability in newborns.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal Medicine
  • Hematology
  • Pediatrics

Background:

  • Establishing reference ranges for neonatal hematological parameters is crucial for clinical practice.
  • Variations in these parameters can indicate underlying health issues in newborns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate routine hematological parameters in term normal neonates, early neonatal period, and infants aged 3-6 months.
  • To compare cord blood hemoglobin (Hb) values with existing literature and identify factors influencing them.

Main Methods:

  • Hematological parameters were analyzed in 240 term normal neonates, 40 neonates in the first week, and 49 infants (3-6 months).
  • Term neonates were selected based on defined criteria.
  • Cord blood hemoglobin and white blood cell counts were assessed.

Main Results:

  • Cord blood Hb values (16.2 +/- 1.5 g/dl) aligned with some Indian and Caucasian data.
  • Lower cord blood hemoglobin was observed with low maternal hemoglobin and Cesarean section delivery.
  • Total and differential leucocyte counts exhibited wide variations, limiting their clinical utility in the newborn period.
  • Platelet counts were comparable to adult ranges.

Conclusions:

  • Maternal hemoglobin and delivery method impact neonatal hemoglobin levels.
  • The high variability of white blood cell counts in newborns necessitates cautious interpretation.
  • Platelet counts in neonates fall within adult normal ranges.
