Abstract |
Perinatal asphyxia is an insult to fetus or newborn due to lack of oxygen or perfusion to various organsm especially to brain, resulting in the important complication known as hypoxic inchemic encephalopathy.
A clinical study was conducted on 30 newborns with perinatal asphyxia, who were admitted to Pediatric department of Ewha Women's University Hospital during 19 months period from Sep. 1990 to Feb. 1992.
The results were as follows:
1)The serum CPK values at 1st and 7th day were not different in the asphyxia group and control group.
2) The serum CPK-BB and MB fraction at 1st day were highly significant in the asphyxia group.
3) The CSF CPK value at 1st day was highly significant in the asphyxia group.
4) The serum LDH values and the serum LDH isoenzyme 3 were highly significant in asphyxia group at 1st day.
5) The CSF LDH values and the CSF LDH isoenzyme 2 and 3 were highly significant in asphyxia group at 1st day.
So, we concluded the serum CPK-BB fracion, the CSF CPK values, the serum LDH values, the serum LDH 2 fraction, the CSF Ldh values and the CSF LDH 2,3 fraction as predictors of neurologic disability following perinatal asphyxia. |
