Cord blood quality: Examination of newborn weight and blood volume in autologous cord blood banking – A single-center experience

Résumé fourni par la source

Aim: Cord blood, sourced from umbilical cords, is extensively utilized as hematopoietic stem cells in marrow transplants.This study examined the correlation between cord blood quality and newborn weight, with an emphasis on volume and weight.Influential factors included volume, neonatal weight, placental weight, cord length, maternal age, birth sequence, gestational age, and environmental conditions.While the association between newborn weight and cord blood quality has been established, this study investigates the relationship within Turkey's autologous cord blood banking.Material and Methods: This study adopted a cross-sectional and retrospective design, utilizing data collected from the KordData program between September 1, 2018, and January 1, 2019.The dataset comprised information on 50 female and 50 male newborns.Pearson's correlation tests were used to evaluate the correlation between newborn weight and blood volume.Results: The study revealed that newborn weight and collected cord blood volume were positively correlated for both male and female infants.The average birth weight of female infants was 3274 g, with an average cord blood volume of 84.2 ml.Male infants had an average birth weight of 3319 grams, with an average collected blood volume of 90.9 ml.Discussion: This study is consistent aligns with existing literature, emphasizing the positive correlation between newborn weight and cord blood volume.Addressing collection challenges is crucial for success, and requires medical expertise.This sheds light on the relationship in cord blood banking, emphasizing the role of cord blood volume in stem cell sourcing.Despite these limitations, further research is required to confirm these results.
