Background Placental insufficiency and fetal growth restriction may lead to fetal hypoxia and
acidemia, which result in fetal cardiac injury. Objective The goal of this study was to compare …

Aim: Intrapartum fetal hypoxia leads to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Though
cardiotocography (CTG) plays an important role in detecting fetal hypoxia, it has high false …

Introduction: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is not used routinely as a
diagnostic biomarker in newborns. The high precision of hs-cTnT assays increases the …

Asphyxia could increase infant morbidity and mortality. Ante-and intrapartum
cardiotocography (CTG) examination could lead to a false positive diagnosis of asphyxia …

METHODS This study was designed as a prospective observational study and was
performed at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, University Hospital Galway …

Objectives: To compare the correlation between abnormal intrapartum cardiotocogram
findings and cord arterial blood pH values in high-risk labours that occurred before and after …

The primary objective was to determine if newborns with congenital heart disease (CHD) are
at a higher risk for acidosis at delivery as determined by cord blood gas analysis. The …

This study compares NT proBNP and troponin T levels in umbilical cord arterial blood and
postnatal echocardiographic findings for infants of gestational and pregestational diabetic …

The increased mortality and morbidity rates in multiple-gestation neonates are not
completely understood. Troponin measurements have a role in situations where the …

Objective This study was aimed to establish a reference interval for high-sensitivity cardiac
troponin I (hs-cTnI) in umbilical cord blood of infants and to assess its association with the …
