Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the blood profiles of late preterm and term newborns, focusing on how factors like sex, weight for gestational age, and delivery method affect hematological indices.
- It included 2,662 newborns, finding that premature infants typically had lower blood cell counts, while small for gestational age (SGA) infants showed higher hemoglobin and hematocrit levels but lower leukocyte counts.
- It concluded that while most blood cells increased with gestation, males and SGA infants presented unique blood characteristics, particularly regarding platelet counts which were affected by delivery method and maternal health issues like hypertension.
