Summary

Assessment of malnutrition within 48 hours of birth through anthropometric indices as Weight, Length and Head circumference, Proportionality indices as MAC/HC ratio, Ponderal index and Body mass index, Clinical assessment of nutritional status (CANS) score. Detection of early neonatal morbidities within the first week of life including Hypoglycemia ,Polycythemia, Respiratory Distress Syndrome, Neonatal sepsis, Hyperbilirubinemia and Feeding intolerance

Conditions

  • Fetal Malnutrition

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Clinical assessment of nutritional status (CANS) score

Systematized inspection and estimation of loss of SC tissues and muscles of nine superficial physical parameters including hair and buccal fat in the cheeks, chin and neck, arms, back, inter or subscapular skin, buttocks, legs, chest, and abdominal wall skin. These signs will be rated from 1 (worst, severe FM) to 4 (best, well nourished), and the highest and lowest total scores are 36 and 9, 3respectively. A total score of \<25 is considered as fetal malnutrition.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Anthropometric indices

weight, length and head circumference

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Proportionality indices

MAC/HC ratio (Calculation for each infant and value will be plotted on and compared with a standard curve). Ponderal index . A PI \<2.2 is considered as malnutrition). Body mass index (BMI= weight (kg) / length2 (m). A BMI \<11.2 kg/m2 is considered as malnutrition)
