BackgroundThere is no consensus on the effects that low birth weight, premature birth and intrauterine growth have on later depression.AimsTo review systematically the evidence on the relationship of low birth weight, smallness for gestational age (SGA) and premature birth with adult depression.MethodWe searched the literature for original studies assessing the effect of low birth weight, premature birth and SGA on adult depression. Separate meta-analyses were carried out for each exposure using random and fixed effects models. We evaluated the contribution of methodological covariates to heterogeneity using meta-regression.ResultsWe identified 14 studies evaluating low birth weight, 9 premature birth and 4 SGA. Low birth weight increased the odds of depression (OR = 1.39, 95% CI 1.21–1.60). Premature birth and SGA were not associated with depression, but publication bias might have underestimated the effect of the former and only four studies evaluated SGA.ConclusionsLow birth weight was associated with depression. Future studies evaluating premature birth and SGA are needed.

Accurate gestational age determination is very important for management of continuation and termination planning of the pregnancy. rd To establish placental thickness as a parameter for determination of gestational age and fetal growth pattern at 3 trimester. 100 primigravida women who are fullling the inclusion criteria and attend gynae &obs OPD or admitted in their third trimester at IPGME&R from January 2017 to june 2018. Placental thickness at 3rd trimester USG scan is moderately correlated with gestational age, if placental thickness expressed in millimeter then it correlated with gestational age at weeks. rd st Placental thickness with >3.2 cm (32 mm) at 3 trimester almost associated with good fetal outcome, with APGAR score >8 at 1 min and birth weight >2500 gm.

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between nutrition, gestational age, and birth weight, and serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels in newborns. Method: The first study group consisted of sixty newborns; thirty were fed with human breast milk and the others were fed with infant formula. Serum samples were obtained from all the newborns on days one and seven of life. Seventy-two pregnant women and their neonatal cord blood serum samples were obtained in a labor ward in the study group. All the serum samples were analyzed for IGF-1 by immunoassay. Result: Newborns fed with human milk had higher serum IGF-1 concentrations compared to formula-fed controls (p < 0.05). Cord IGF-1 levels showed a negative correlation with birthweight (p < 0.05) and a positive correlation with gestational age (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These findings suggest that IGF-1 levels during the neonatal period are influenced by gestational age, birth weight, and nutrition.

The birth weight (BW) are utilized as indicators of the healthy and term newborns. Factor that affects the weight of a newborn are micronutrient intake and fundal height. Folic acid and iron (Fe) were associated with newborn birth weight. Fundal height in <em>centimeters</em> (cm) is the same as the gestational age of the week, the fundal height that is not in accordance with the gestational age is leading to stunted fetal growth. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between intake of folic acid, iron (Fe) and fundal height with newborn birth weight. This research method was an analytic observational using a <em>cross-sectional</em> approach. The sample in this study were 114 pregnant women living in Yogyakarta. Statistical test results proved a significant relationship between the intake of folic acid and iron (Fe) with the newborn birth weight (p &lt; 0.05). There was a significant relationship between the fundal height with the newborn birth weight (p &lt; 0.05). The concludes of this study, pregnant women with adequate folic acid intake, adequate iron intake and normal fundal height tended to give birth newborns with normal birth weight.

Pendekatan nonparametrik merupakan suatu pendekatan yang digunakan apabila bentuk hubungan antara variabel respon dan variabel prediktornya tidak diketahui atau tidak adanya informasi mengenai bentuk fungsi regresinya. Spline merupakan suatu teknik yang dilakukan untuk mengestimasi parameter dalam regresi nonparametrik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui model hubungan antara berat badan lahir rendah dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi berdasarkan model spline. Faktor-faktor tersebut adalah usia ibu, usia kehamilan, dan jarak kehamilan. Data tersebut diperoleh dari rumah sakit ibu dan anak siti Fatimah Makassar tahun 2017. Dimana untuk mendapatkan model spline terbaik langkah awal yang dilakukan adalah menentukan knot dengan nilai Generalized Cross Validation (GCV) yang minimum. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan, dua variabel dinyatakan berpengaruh terhadap berat badan lahir rendah yaitu usia ibu, dan usia kehamilan. Model regresi nonparametrik dengan pendekatan Spline yang terbentuk memiliki koefisien determinasi sebesar 78,19%, serta nilai GCV dengan tiga titik knot yaitu 0.0117.Kata kunci: Regresi Nonparametrik, Spline, Berat Badan Lahir Rendah, Generalized Cross Validation The non-parametric approach is an approach that is used if the form of the relationship between the response variable and the predictor variable is unknown or the absence of information about the shapes of regression functions. The Spline is a technique performed to estimate the parameters in the nonparametric regression. This study aims to determine the model of the relationship between low birth weight and the factors that affect the based on the spline model. Such factors are maternal age, gestational age, and pregnancy distance. The Data is obtained from the mother and child hospital siti Fatimah Makassar 2017. Where to get a spline model best the initial step is to determine the knots with the value of the Generalized Cross Validation (GCV) which is a minimum. Based on the research that has been done, the two variables stated effect against low birth weight, namely age of mother, and gestational age. Nonparametric regression Model with the approach of the Spline that is formed has a coefficient of determination of 78.19 to%, as well as the value of the GCV with a three-point knot that is 0.0117.Keyword : Nonparametric Regression, Spline, Low Birth Weight, Generalized Cross Validation

The aim of the research was to determine the characteristics of menstrual function and the spectrum of disorders of reproductive health among women born with low weight and overweight. Materials and methods. The study included 122 healthy women of reproductive age, the city dwellers of the Eastern Ukraine, 53 (group I) of them were born weighing 2500 g or less, and 69 (group II) with body weight of 4000 g or more. To achieve this purpose conducted an anonymous survey and personal interviews. Were estimated characteristics of the formation of the menstrual function, its characteristics, the frequency of violation of menstrual cycle and the spectrum of pathology that requires medical, surgical or minimally invasive intervention. Results. This study determined the relationship of family history, perinatal development, the formation of the menstrual cycle and reproductive function in women with various deviations of body weight at birth. There was stated the relationship between weight at birth and fertility in the future. Were updated perinatal risk factors for female infertility. Were discovered the relationship between the deviation from normal body weight at birth and increased frequency of gynecological pathology, which require surgical or minimally invasive treatment, trigger factors for hormonal-metabolic disorders in the population of Eastern women. It was determined the necessity of a differentiated approach to medical care of women with different variants of the deviations of weight growth indicators at birth. Conclusion. Thus, the obtained data about the delay in sexual development and later about the high incidence of infertility in women who are born with low body weight are in agreement with the literature data, reflecting the parallelism of woman's ability to conceive, weight and growth parameters at birth. Key words: low birth weight, large for gestational age fetus, gynecological pathology, infertility.

We evaluated the relationship between mean platelet volume (MPV) and characteristics of 10,577 cord blood (CB) units in a public CB bank in Korea. Blood group O has the highest MPV (P= 0.002). MPV correlated with CB volume (r=0.121), Hb (r=0.377), WBC (r=0.111), TNCs (r=0.110), CD34+ cell (r=0.174), CD34+ cells/TNCs (r=0.157), gestational age (r= −0.102), and birth weight (r=0.023); (P<0.001in all). MPV may be one of the useful decision parameters of process priority in CB bank.
