Abstract:
The high incidence of complications in preterm infants has a serious negative impact on neonatal health.Therefore,the discovery of predictors of complications in preterm infants has a positive clinical value.Umbilical cord blood is rich in various biomarkers and has the advantages of easy access and no harm to the infants,making it an ideal specimen for testing.A number of studies had explored the predictive value of de-tecting markers in umbilical cord blood,either alone or in combination with other assays,for various types of preterm complications,in order to facilitate earlier intervention for preterm complications and to improve the prognosis of the disease.This paper reviews the recent development of cord blood testing for predicting com-plications in various types of preterm infants.
