Abstract:
Objective To investigate the environmental factors affecting neonatal neurobehavioral development and its sensitivities.Methods Neonatal behavioral neurological assessment (NBNA)and lead levels in umbilical cord blood and meconium were determined for103randomly selected neonates delivered at the section of Obstetrics and Gynecology,First Metallurgical Construction Company Hospital,from January to October1999,and the other relevant factors were investigated by questionnaire at the same time.The NBNB total score was described as a dependent variable and24relevant factors such as umbilical cord blood lead and meconium lead level,etc,as independent variables.Logistic regression analysis was used to ana-lyze the associated factors at P=0.10level.Results The factors selected in the Logistic regression model included:gestational age,month of taking medicine in gestational period,hemoglobin concentration,pregnant womans psychology,meconium lead level and taking medicine during gestational period.Conclusion Neonatal neurobehavioral development could be affected by many factors.Good nutrition,longer gestational age and maintaining good psychological status during pregnancy might be benefi-cial to neonatal neurobehavioral development.However,taking medicine during the gestational period and a high meconium lead level could be harmful to neonatal neurobehavioral development.
