To determine the natural course of zinc protoporphyrin/heme ratio (ZnPP/H) and its role in the detection of iron deficiency (ID) and iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) in the first 4 months of life in moderately preterm infants.
ZnPP/H was measured at 1 week, 6 weeks and 4 months postnatal age in a prospective cohort of 161 Dutch infants born at a gestational age of 32+0 to 36+6 weeks who did not receive an erythrocyte transfusion or iron supplementation.
ZnPP/H levels decreased in the first 6 weeks and increased thereafter. At 4 months postnatal age, ZnPP/H was higher in the 11 (8.5%) infants with IDA (mean (s.d.): 260.8 (16.1)) but not in the 27 (21.3%) infants with ID (mean (s.d.): 177.0 (15.1)) compared with normal infants (mean (s.d.): 157.3 (12.5)).
In moderately preterm infants, ZnPP/H can be of additional value to detect infants at risk for IDA due to iron-deficient erythropoiesis at 4 months of age.
确定中晚期早产儿出生后前4个月内锌原卟啉/血红素比值(ZnPP/H)的自然病程及其在检测缺铁(ID)和缺铁性贫血(IDA)中的作用。
对161名胎龄为32+0至36+6周、未接受红细胞输血或铁补充剂的荷兰婴儿进行前瞻性队列研究,在出生后1周、6周和4个月时测量ZnPP/H。
ZnPP/H水平在出生后的前6周下降,此后上升。在出生后4个月时,11名(8.5%)患有IDA的婴儿(均值(标准差):260.8(16.1))的ZnPP/H高于正常婴儿(均值(标准差):157.3(12.5)),但27名(21.3%)患有ID的婴儿(均值(标准差):177.0(15.1))的ZnPP/H与正常婴儿无差异。
在中晚期早产儿中,ZnPP/H对于检测4个月大时因缺铁性红细胞生成而有患IDA风险的婴儿可能具有额外价值。
