Nam Soo Kang, Jae Kyun Yoon, Chang Sung Son, Joo Won Lee, Young Chang Tokgo, Sang Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(2):195-202.   Published online February 15, 1999
Purpose : The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficiency of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in detecting myocardial damage in neonatal asphyxia and to compare the diagnostic value of cTnT with creatine kinase MB(CK-MB). Methods : Sixty-three neonates were enrolled in this study, consisting of 27 asphyxiated infants (asphyxiated group; 1-min or 5-min Apgar score≤6) and 36 healthy...

We studied to assess the relationship between intrauterine growth retardation and the increased nucleated red blood cell counts (NRBC) in small for gestational age (SGA) and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) neonates with low birth weight. We also evaluated the nucleated red blood cell counts in low birth weight neonates who had either perinatal asphyxia or hyaline membrane disease (HMD)...

A clinical study was made on 607 newborns of mothers with premature rupture of membrane (PROM group) and 5,775 newborns of mothers without ruptured membrane Baptist Hospital from January 1987 to December 1989. The results are summarized as follows: 1) The overall incidence of PROM was 9.5% with little yearly variations. 2) 11.9% of all babies with PROM were bom prematurely, significantly higher than the incidence of control...

Neonatal asphyxia is insult to the newborn due to lack of oxygen or perfusion to various organs. It is associated with tissue hypoxia, especially brain. So hypoxic-ischemic brain injury is the most important complication known as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. The EEG as well as various evoked potentials (auditory, visual and somatosensory) may assist in evaluating the severity of the damage. This study was undertaken to...

A comparative study on the frequencies of premature birth, neonatal sepsis, asphyxia, perinatal death and respiratory distress syndrome was carried out between 1309 newborns with premature rupture of membranes (PROM) and the normal group of 4636 newborns without PROM among all 5945 babies delivered at Kwangju Christian Hospital for the 2-year period starting from March 1985. The results are sumrnarized as follows: 1) The overall...
Progostic Factors in Neonatal Asphyxia.

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1986;29(4):420-425.   Published online April 30, 1986
A clinical study was conducted on 30 term babies with neonatal asphyxia, who were admitted to Pediatric Department of Kyungpook National University Hospital during 2years period from May 1983 to April 1985. Of the 20 cases returned to follow up, 15 cases were neurodevelopmentally normal but 5 cases were retarded with neurologic disability. Retarded case revealed higher incidence of severe asphyxia...
A Clinical Study on Morbidity and Mortality in Newborns of Mothers wieh Premature Rupture of Membrane.
Myung Shik Lee, Dong Gwan Han
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1984;27(11):1045-1054.   Published online November 30, 1984
A clinical study was made on 997 newborns of mothers with premature rupture of membrane (study group) and 5,552 newborns of mothers without ruptured membrane (control group) at YUMC from January 1981 to December 1983. The following results were obtained: 1) The incidence of the study group was 15.2% and morbidity incidences were 5.4% due to sepsis, 9.5% due to asphyxia and...
