Pregnancies that extend beyond 42 weeks of gestation have a higher risk for uteroplacental insufficiency than do pregnancies delivered prior to this time. Postterm infants are at risk for meconium aspiration due to uteroplacental insufficiency. Prior research has shown that postterm infants are at risk for temperature- and glucose-regulating difficulties following birth. In this study, the abilities of 63 postterm infants and 88 term infants to regulate temperature and glucose during the first 24 hours of infant age were compared. No significant differences were found in the two groups on the two variables.
妊娠超过42周的孕妇发生子宫胎盘功能不全的风险高于在此之前分娩的孕妇。过期产儿因子宫胎盘功能不全有发生胎粪吸入的风险。先前的研究表明，过期产儿出生后有体温和血糖调节困难的风险。在本研究中，比较了63例过期产儿和88例足月儿在出生后24小时内调节体温和血糖的能力。两组在这两个变量上未发现显著差异。
