Abstract
Objective to study and establish the relation between nucleated Red blood cells and Perinatal Asphyxia and to compare the efficacy of Nucleated RBC count as a predictor of Perinatal Asphyxia with the other parameter. Cross sectional Comparative study conducted over a period of 1 year from Oct 2013 to Sept 2014, which included 80 neonates with 40 cases of suspected asphyxia and 40 controls. The cord blood was collected immediately after delivery for NRBCs count under peripheral smear. Statistical analysis was performed with chi-square and t test. Mean NRBCs count in case and control was 8±8.57/100wbcs and 5.97±4.79/100wbcs respectively. Also significant correlation is seen in the NRBCs of APGAR score at 1min and 5min which is statistically valued as p value P<0.05. It is a simple and cost effective test in early diagnosis of perinatal asphyxia. It will help the clinicians in early diagnosis and treatment whenever applicable, thereby reducing the neonatal morbidity and mortality.
