Introduction: The present study aimed to compare the number of NRBC/100 WBC and neonatal outcomes in two groups of mothers with pregnancy complications and healthy mothers.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the number of NRBC/100 WBC of 651 newborns in two groups of mothers with pregnancy complications (case group) and healthy mothers (case group) who were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit of Ghaem Hospital in Mashhad during the years 1400 to 1404 were examined and compared. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data, which included infant characteristics, maternal characteristics, and infant laboratory characteristics.
Results: Maternal age, number of deliveries, and NRBC values were higher in the group of infants whose mothers were in the case group, and gestational age, 1st and 5th minute Apgar scores, and infant weight were lower in the case group. The mean NRBC/100 white blood cell count in infants with an Cohen’s d= -1.141 and a CI: [-0.875- - 0.521] and p=0.000 was 3 times higher in the group of infants resulting from abnormal pregnancies than in infants resulting from normal pregnancies. The incidence of cesarean section, prematurity, asphyxia, sepsis, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), PDA and long-term adverse outcomes were increased in infants born to abnormal pregnancies compared to infants born to normal pregnancies.
Conclusion: In the group of infants born to abnormal pregnancies, the mean nucleated red blood cell count (NRBC) was 3 times higher compared to infants born to normal pregnancies. Adverse neonatal outcomes were also increased in this group.
