A study on the incidence and high risk factors of hypothermia in the newborn was carried out in a period of four months (Nov. 1988-Feb. 1989) in 6 counties of 3 provinces. Totally 14,809 newborns were studied, in whom 100 cases were found to be ill with sclerema, having an incidence of 6.7%. Gestational age, body weight, low room temperature, improper methods of thermopreservation during delivery and asphyxia are determined as the most probable high risk factors, in which gestational age and body weight are negatively correlated with the contraction of the disease. It suggests that the prevention of prematurity and asphyxia, and promotion of thermopreservation during delivery should be helpful in preventing sclerema of newborns.
1988年11月至1989年2月的四个月期间，在三个省的6个县开展了一项关于新生儿低体温发病率及高危因素的研究。共对14,809名新生儿进行了研究，其中发现100例患硬肿症，发病率为6.7%。确定胎龄、体重、室温低、分娩时保暖方法不当及窒息为最可能的高危因素，其中胎龄和体重与该病的发生呈负相关。这表明预防早产和窒息，以及在分娩期间加强保暖，有助于预防新生儿硬肿症。
