Frequency and risk factors of fetal malnutrition among liveborn singleton term neonates using a computerised perinatal database, 2000–2006

Abstract: Fetal malnutrition (FM) still exists despite the advances in current obstetric care. Neonates of adolescent mothers and of low GA are particularly at risk for FM. The BW, BL and HC of fetally malnourished neonates are lower than that of well-nourished neonates. Like term singleton appropriate and small for GA neonates, term singleton large for GA neonates could also have been fetally malnourished.

“…In our study, a comparison of the mother's skin type between the study group and the control group showed that more mothers with dark skin or lower weight gain (≤9 kg) during pregnancy had newborns with FM. So far, there has been no study in the literature on the relationship between FM and the mother's skin color, although a study by Salihoğlu et al showed a significant relationship between low gestational weight gain of the mother and the frequency of FM, similarly supporting our study results (8).…”

“…On the basis of previous findings, that birth weight, birth height, and head circumference of FM neonates are lower than that of well-nourished neonates, we hypothesized that 25(OH)Vit D levels are lower in FM infants and may be the cause of the lack of growth in these neonates (8). We calculated that a sample size of 60 neonates with malnourished neonates (α=0.05, power=80%).…”

“…The present study using Olsen chart observed that 27% had birth weight less than 10th centile indicating SGA. 21 23,24,25,26 When compared to weight centiles the percentage of babies with length less than 10th centile were 10.6% and in majority it was less than 3rd centile. This again suggested that BMI would be more reliable as an indicator of fetal nutritional status than birth weight alone.…”

“…Kamath et al 27 30,28,24,31,32 However a lower incidence of malnourishment was observed by CAN score reported by Singhal et al accounting for 17.5%. 25 CAN score help to identify nourished and malnourished infants among the SGA and AGA infants respectively. Singhal et al in his study observed that 76.8% of the SGA were nourished according to CAN score and 18% of the AGA infants were malnourished.…”
