| Popis: | Objective To compare umbilical cord blood with newborn heel stick blood for newborn DNA identification. Design Prospective, correlational, comparative analysis utilizing a convenience sample of birth mothers and newborns. Setting Labor and delivery unit in a large, private, not‐for‐profit community hospital. Participants One hundred thirty four mother/infant dyads participated. Birth mothers were at least 18 years of age and able to read and understand English. Samples Blood samples were collected from each newborn utilizing the umbilical cord and a heel stick. A blood sample was collected from each mother utilizing a finger stick. Main Outcome Measure Computerized short tandem repeat analyses and visual matching to identify positive matches between the umbilical cord blood sample and heel stick sample. Results Umbilical cord blood contains a DNA profile identical to the newborn heel stick sample that can be used to identify a newborn. Conclusion Umbilical cord blood samples are a valid source of newborn DNA identification. |
