One Thousand singleton neonates, between 28 and 44 weeks of estimated gestational age (EGA) were measured within 48 hours of their birth for upper mid-arm circumference (MAC), head circumference (HC) and birth weight (BW). Regression analysis was used to draw standard curves for MAC versus EGA and mid-arm circumference/head circumference ratio (MAC/HC) versus EGA. Correlation coefficients were 0.961 for MAC versus EGA and 0.889 for MAC/HC versus EGA (p less than 0.001). MAC, MAC/HC and HC were also highly correlated with birth weight (p less than 0.001). These standard curves make available a discriminating method for evaluation of intra-uterine growth and a non-invasive technique for following somatic protein status in growing preterm infants.
对1000名单胎新生儿在出生后48小时内进行测量,这些新生儿的估计孕周(EGA)在28至44周之间,测量指标包括上臂中部周长(MAC)、头围(HC)和出生体重(BW)。采用回归分析绘制MAC与EGA以及上臂中部周长/头围比(MAC/HC)与EGA的标准曲线。MAC与EGA的相关系数为0.961,MAC/HC与EGA的相关系数为0.889(p<0.001)。MAC、MAC/HC和HC与出生体重也高度相关(p<0.001)。这些标准曲线为评估宫内生长提供了一种鉴别方法,以及一种用于跟踪早产婴儿体蛋白状态的非侵入性技术。
