| Abstract: |
Background The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic and prognostic utility of nucleated red blood cells (nRBCs) in critically ill neonates, to help early diagnosis, since they have high risk of death. Patients and methods This cohort study involved 102 neonates with critical illness who were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit on their 1st day of life. Data regarding patient demographics, perinatal risk factors, clinical characteristics, morbidities, and outcomes were collected. Laboratory investigations were performed, including a complete blood picture as well as a peripheral blood film in which nRBCs were counted. |
