Bisphenol exposure in preterm neonates: a cohort study with measurements at admission and discharge in a neonatal intensive care unit in Ankara, Turkiye.

ABSTRACT: This study assessed bisphenol exposure in preterm infants (born before 35 weeks of gestation) hospitalized in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), along with associated prenatal exposure. Fifty-eight infants and 48 mothers were included. Bisphenol A (BPA) and bisphenol F (BPF) levels were measured in maternal urine, cord blood, and infant urine samples using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). There was a significant negative association between maternal urine BPF (MuBPF) and the newborn's birth weight percentile. A significant positive correlation was found between the BPA levels of the infant's urine taken on the first day (NuBPA1) and the second sample taken on the last day (NuBPA2) in the NICU. There was a significant negative association between tertile levels of cord BPA
