In order to test the hypothesis suggested in a recent report that the birthweight ratio might be a useful predictor of several important clinical outcome measures in babies of less than 31 weeks' gestation, we examined the association between the birthweight ratio and aspects of both short and long term outcome in 436 Leeds babies of less than 31 weeks' gestation. Unlike the report, and contrary to what we had expected, we were unable to find any significant association between birthweight ratio and length of time on the ventilator, mortality, neurological outcome, or intellectual outcome.
为了验证最近一份报告中提出的假说,即出生体重比可能是孕周小于31周婴儿几种重要临床结局指标的有效预测指标,我们研究了436例孕周小于31周的利兹婴儿的出生体重比与短期和长期结局各方面之间的关联。与该报告不同,也与我们的预期相反,我们未能发现出生体重比与呼吸机使用时间、死亡率、神经学结局或智力结局之间存在任何显著关联。
