| Popis: | BackgroundOur aim was to determine whether the postnatal age or postmenstrual age is a more appropriate criterion for evaluating foetal haemoglobin concentrations.MethodsBlood samples ( n = 1095) were obtained from 394 infants and were divided into two groups based on gestational age at birth: ResultsIn samples from infants ≥37 weeks’ gestational age at birth, the median foetal haemoglobin concentrations were 69.5%, 21.4% and 3.6% at 0–1 month, 2–3 months and ≥5 months after birth, respectively. The median foetal haemoglobin concentrations in infants 13 months after last menstruation in infants ≥37 and ConclusionsEvaluation of foetal haemoglobin concentrations at postmenstrual age is unaffected by gestational age at birth. |
