To study umbilical cord interleukin-6 levels and the occurrence of neonatal sepsis, congenital pneumonia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and grade II-IV intraventricular hemorrhage.
Umbilical cord blood was collected from 133 preterm newborns. The study population was divided according to the presence or absence of neonatal complications. Interleukin-6 levels and clinical characteristics were compared by univariate and multivariate analyses.
Sixteen neonates had adverse outcomes, and 117 were unaffected. The median interleukin-6 level was significantly higher in affected than in unaffected infants (145 pg/mL versus 0 pg/mL, P = .002). Elevated interleukin-6 levels were associated independently with neonatal morbidity in multiple logistic regression modeling that included gestational age, birth weight, and antenatal steroid exposure.
Umbilical cord blood interleukin-6 levels are elevated in neonates who subsequently develop sepsis, congenital pneumonia, necrotizing enterocolitis, or grade II-IV intraventricular hemorrhage.
研究脐带血白细胞介素-6水平与新生儿败血症、先天性肺炎、坏死性小肠结肠炎及II-IV级脑室内出血的发生情况。
收集133例早产新生儿的脐带血。根据是否存在新生儿并发症对研究人群进行分组。通过单因素和多因素分析比较白细胞介素-6水平和临床特征。
16例新生儿出现不良结局,117例未受影响。受影响婴儿的白细胞介素-6水平中位数显著高于未受影响婴儿(145 pg/mL对0 pg/mL,P = .002)。在包括胎龄、出生体重和产前类固醇暴露的多因素逻辑回归模型中,白细胞介素-6水平升高与新生儿发病独立相关。
随后发生败血症、先天性肺炎、坏死性小肠结肠炎或II-IV级脑室内出血的新生儿脐带血白细胞介素-6水平升高。
