Objective:To compare the differences of hemolysis between OA and OB blood type in ABO hemolytic disease of the newborn (ABO-HDN), to study the clinical features of ABO hemolytic disease in different type.Methods:From January 2015 to June 2020, full-term ABO-HDN neonates born to blood type O mothers admitted to our hospital were enrolled in this retrospective study. The neonates were assigned into OA group and OB group. SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the clinical data.Results:A total of 755 cases were enrolled, including 364 cases of OA group and 391 cases of OB group. On hour-specific bilirubin nomogram, no significant differences existed in high intermediate risk zone between the two groups ( P>0.05). In the low risk zone and the low intermediate risk zone, the proportion of newborns in OA group was higher than the OB group ( P<0.05). In the high risk zone, the proportion of newborns in the OB group was higher than the OA group ( P<0.05). The age of admission of the OB group was younger than the OA group ( P<0.05). The incidences of immunoglobulin usage and blood transfusion in the OB group were higher than the OA group ( P<0.05). No significant differences existed between the two groups in Coombs? test, antibody elution test, free antibody test, platelet count, reticulocyte percentage, the onset time of jaundice, the median serum total bilirubin level, the average hemoglobin level and the incidence of anemia on admission ( P>0.05). No significant differences existed in the incidence of exchange transfusion, the duration of phototherapy and hospitalization between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with OA incompatibility, newborns with OB incompatibility have higher incidences of hyperbilirubinemia, blood transfusion and younger age of admission. However, the two groups have similar rate of exchange transfusion and phototherapy and hospitalization duration.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for extrauterine growth retardation(EUGR)in late preterm infants appropriate for gestational age.Methods The clinical data in 1 402 preterm infants appropri-ate for gestational age delivered and hospitalized in this hospital from January 2016 to June 2022 were analyzed retrospectively.They were divided into the EUGR group(n=244)and the non-EUGR group(n=1 158)ac-cording to whether or not the body weight at discharge was below the 10th percentile of the growth curve for the same gestational age at the same period based on the Fenton's preterm growth curve.The clinical data of preterm infants and mothers of the two groups were collected.The risk factors for EUGR occurrence in pre-mature infants were analyzed.Results Among 1 402 preterm infants appropriate for gestational age,EUGR occurred in 244 cases with the EUGR incidence rate of 17.4%.The EUGR incidence rate had no statistical difference among the different fetal ages of premature infants(P>0.05).The EUGR incidence rate had sta-tistical difference among different birth weights of premature infants(P<0.05).The logistic regression anal-ysis showed that male(OR=1.694,95%CI:1.144-2.507),low birth weight(OR=0.989,95%CI:0.988-0.991),feeding intolerance(OR=2.719,95%CI:1.234-5.990),short gestational weeks(OR=0.146,95%CI:0.103-0.207)and hospitalization duration extension(OR=1.073,95%CI:1.031-1.117)were the risk factors for EUGR occurrence in late premature infants appropriate for gestational age in discharge.The sub-group analysis showed that male,low birth weight,feeding intolerance and hospitalization duration extension were the risk factors for EUGR occurrence in the preterm infants with gestational ages of 34-<36 weeks(P<0.05).Low birth weight and feeding intolerance only affected the preterm infants≥36 weeks of gesta-tional age(P<0.05).Conclusion Strengthening the pregnant duration health care and active nutritional sup-port after birth may reduce the risk of EUGR occurrence in late premature infants.
