Maternal fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio for predicting delivery of small and large for gestational age infants: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate associations between fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products (FDP) to high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (FHR) of mothers and the risk of delivering large/small for gestational age (LGA/SGA) infants and to evaluate the predictive power of FHR on LGA/SGA.

Methods

This study retrospectively reviewed 11,657 consecutive women whose lipid profiles and FDP levels were investigated at the time of admission for delivery at a specialized hospital. The FHR was calculated, and perinatal outcomes, including clinical parameters, were analyzed.

Results

The prevalence of SGA was 9% (n = 1034), and that of LGA was 15% (n = 1806) in this cohort study. FHR was significantly lower in women who delivered SGA inf
