Background: In utero latent iron deficiency has been associated with abnormal
neurodevelopmental outcomes during childhood. Its concomitant effect on auditory neural …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether cord ferritin (CF) concentration, an index of in utero iron
status, is associated with auditory neural maturation in premature infants. STUDY DESIGN …

Methods One hundred and fifteen full-term healthy Chinese infants with maternal and cord
blood haemoglobin and serum ferritin determinations were recruited into this study. Forty …

Objective To determine whether cord serum ferritin level is associated with auditory
brainstem evoked response interpeak latencies, an index of auditory neural myelination, in …

BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence suggests that excess iron may be detrimental for brain
development. However, little is known regarding the association between neonatal iron …

Iron deficiency anemia has long been thought to have effects on the central nervous system
(CNS). Finding direct evidence of this in human infants, however, has been challenging …

Background: Iron is crucial for fetal brain development; however, there are insufficient data
regarding the effects of maternal iron deficiency anemia (IDA) on auditory neural maturation …

LBW infants are at risk of iron deficiency (ID), which is associated with impaired nervous
system development and may lead to prolonged auditory brainstem response (ABR) …

Background Iron is critical to the developing brain, but fetal iron accretion is compromised by
several maternal and pregnancy-related factors. Little consideration has been given to the …

Objective: Small-for-gestational-age (SGA) neonates, infants of diabetic mothers (IDM) and
very-low-birth weight premature neonates (VLBW) are reported to have increased risk for …
