THE VALUE OF PONDERAL INDEX AS A PROGNOSTIC FACTOR IN PREDICTING COMPLICATIONS IN TERM NEONATES
Rohrer's ponderal index in newborns (birth weight * 100/height3) has been used as an indicator of fetal growth status, especially to assess asymmetrical intrauterine growth retardation. Low ponderal index or disproportionate intrauterine growth retardation has higher neonatal morbidity and there are some specific guidelines in intrauterine growth retarded infants to control some of their pr...
متن کاملDelta Neutrophil Index as a Promising Prognostic Marker in Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest
BACKGROUND The post-resuscitation phase after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is characterised by a systemic inflammatory response (e.g., severe sepsis), for which the immature granulocyte count is a diagnostic marker. In this study we evaluated the prognostic significance of the delta neutrophil index (DNI), which is the difference in leukocyte subfractions as assessed by an automated bl...
متن کاملAminotransferase as a prognostic index in infants with liver disease.
To assess the utility of the serum aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) ratio in a group of infants with liver disorders, we retrospectively analyzed the charts of 73 infants with chronic liver disorders. Patients were considered as having either a good outcome (n = 40) or a poor outcome (n = 33), based upon the clinical course. AST and ALT in serum were measured simult...
متن کاملDiversity index as a novel prognostic factor in breast cancer
Intratumoral genetic heterogeneity leads to tumor progression and therapeutic resistance. However, due to the difficulty associated with its assessment, the use of this heterogeneity as a prognostic or predictive marker remains limited. To investigate the significance of the Shannon diversity index of gene copy number variation as a tool for measuring genetic heterogeneity in breast cancer, we ...
متن کاملsignificance of preoperative total lymphocyte count as a prognostic criterion in adult cardiac surgery
background evaluation of operational risk is a consequential goal in perioperative management of patients in cardiac surgery. preoperative total lymphocyte count (ptlc) is a prognostic criterion of adverse major cardiovascular outcomes. objectives the purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of ptlc as an independent predictor of postoperative morbidity and mortality in car...
