To examine the hypothesis that maternal body mass index (BMI) (an index of maternal adiposity) correlates with cord blood concentrations of erythropoietin (EPO).
Cross-sectional cohort study of consecutively born singleton term healthy infants born to mothers with various BMIs. Excluded were infants with major factors known to be associated with a potential increase in fetal erythropoiesis. Prepregnancy maternal BMI was calculated from maternal recollection.
There was a significant correlation between EPO concentrations and maternal BMI (R = 0.427, P = 0.007). This correlation remained significant in multiple stepwise regression analysis using the EPO concentration as the dependent variable, and maternal age, parity, gestational age and Apgar scores (1 or 5 min) as potential confounders.
Cord blood concentrations of EPO correlate with maternal BMI. We speculate that increasing maternal BMI may represent a relative hypoxic burden on the fetus.
检验母亲体重指数(BMI)(母亲肥胖程度指标)与脐血促红细胞生成素(EPO)浓度相关的假设。
对连续出生的、母亲BMI各异的单胎足月儿健康婴儿进行横断面队列研究。排除已知与胎儿红细胞生成潜在增加相关的主要因素的婴儿。孕前母亲BMI根据母亲回忆计算得出。
EPO浓度与母亲BMI之间存在显著相关性(R = 0.427,P = 0.007)。在以EPO浓度为因变量、母亲年龄、产次、孕周和阿氏评分(1或5分钟)作为潜在混杂因素的多元逐步回归分析中,这种相关性仍然显著。
脐血EPO浓度与母亲BMI相关。我们推测母亲BMI增加可能代表胎儿相对缺氧负担。
