Objective: We evaluated the effect of early universal ultrasound (US) screening program for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH).
Methods: A total of 21,676 newborns between 2006 and 2015 were included in the study. All hips were examined by US within the first week of life.
Objective: To analyze the vitamin D status of pregnant women in Slovenia and the factors influencing it.
Methods: The study was performed in Maribor University Medical Centre (location 46°N). Maternal serum 25-hydroxy-vitamin D (25(OH)D) in 4 groups of 100 pregnant women in 4 different seasons of the year was measured at the time of delivery.
Background: The levels of serum cystatin C (CysC) and creatinine (Cr) were determined in small-for-gestational-age (SGA) babies and compared with those for normal term newborns appropriate for gestational age (AGA), at birth and 3 days later. We then compared a number of cysC-based, Cr-based and combined formulas for estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) with the neonatal reference GFR.
Methods: Fifty full-term SGA and 50 AGA newborns were enrolled in the study.
Seasonal variations of vitamin D concentrations in pregnant women and neonates in Slovenia.

Objective: While foreign research shows a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in pregnant women and consequently in neonates, we do not have any data on vitamin D concentration in these risk groups for Slovenia. We performed a prospective study to evaluate vitamin D concentration in pregnant women and neonates in Maribor region.
Study Design: We determined 25-hydroxy-vitamin D concentration from blood samples taken before delivery from 100 pregnant women who gave birth in Maribor University Clinical Centre in September and December 2013, respectively, and from the cord blood of their neonates.
We evaluated cystatin-C (cysC) in the umbilical blood as a predictor of acute kidney injury (AKI) after perinatal hypoxia/asphyxia compared with creatinine (Cr). One hundred full-term newborns were enrolled in the study (50 in a group affected by perinatal hypoxia/asphyxia [AS] and 50 controls). CysC and Cr were measured in blood samples from the umbilical cord at birth (cysC-umb and Cr-umb) and from a peripheral vein 3 days later (cysC-3 and Cr-3).

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the results of the general neonatal hip screening program in Maribor between 1997 and 2005 in comparison with earlier reported results for our region, where this program was introduced in 1985.
Patients And Methods: Of the total number of 17,846 newborns born in our maternity hospital, 17,393 were included in the study during the nine-year period.
Cystatin C versus creatinine as a marker of glomerular filtration rate in the newborn.
Wien Klin Wochenschr
September 2006
Aim: Serum cystatin C (cysC) has been proposed as a promising endogenous marker of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in adults and children. The aim of this study was to determine the reference values of cysC at birth and three days later in comparison with creatinine (Cr) and Schwartz's estimated clearance.
Patients And Methods: 75 newborns (42 boys, 33 girls) were enrolled in the study.
Objectives: To investigate the frequency of malformations, fetal growth retardation, cerebral hemorrhage and neonatal withdrawal symptoms in newborns exposed to antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) in utero.
Design: Population of the northeastern part of Slovenia (pregnant women and newborns between 1998 and 2002).
Methods: Data on newborns born between 1998 and 2002 of 37 epileptic mothers taking AEDs in pregnancy, of 32 epileptic mothers not taking AEDs in pregnancy and of 211 mothers healthy in pregnancy were ascertained from hospital obstetric and neonatal records and included in the study.
