ABSTRACT
AIMS:
To correlate data on umbilical cord arterial blood pH (pHa) levels obtained at delivery with subsequent Bayley Psychomotor Development (PDI) scores determined on the same cohort of children at age 18 months.METHODS:
At delivery, we obtained umbilical cord bloods for pHa levels along with other biological parameters. Following the birth cohort prospectively, at age 18 months we did a comprehensive, blinded neurodevelopmental examination to determine a PDI score for each child.RESULTS:
Over the broad range of umbilical cord arterial blood pH levels from 7.03 to 7.52, no statistically significant correlation (Pearson correlation coefficient, -0.016, P=0.88) was found between pHa at delivery and PDI scores at age 18 months. To study our finding in greater detail, we formed a subset of the data consisting only of lower pHa levels at delivery (defined as
