Umbilical cord pH levels | 7.2 are linked to increased risk for adverse neonatal outcomes, a new study from Denmark found.
Umbilical cord pH levels < 7.2 may increase the risk for adverse neonatal outcomes, a Danish national cohort study shows. Severe acidosis has typically been thought to occur < 7.0. Reconsideration of the threshold for more intensive observation may be warranted, according to the study authors.Researchers conducted a population-based cohort study that included 340,431 liveborn, singleton, full-term infants without malformations born in Denmark between 2012 and 2018.
They categorized pH levels in the umbilical cord into four groups: < 7.00, 7.00-7.09, 7.10-7.19, and 7.20-7.50 .An umbilical cord pH < 7.00 was associated with an increased risk for severe adverse neonatal outcomes .Risk for neonatal death increased below a pH of 7.1, but not for 7.10-7.19, compared with the reference group, the researchers reported.
