Abstract
Objectives: To demonstrate the difference of fat concentration in colostrum between mothers with preterm delivery and mothers with term delivery, using creamatocrit (CRCT) as an analytic method.
Materials and Methods: The enrollment period was from January to June, 2016. Two hundred and twenty nursing mothers were divided into 2 groups based on gestational age, 44 preterm and 176 term delivery mothers in the first and second groups, respectively. Colostrum was collected from all participants on the third day postpartum before transferred into capillary tubes and sorted into groups to perform CRCT. CRCT were compared between groups using univariable and multivariable regression analysis to clarify indicators that effected CRCT.
Results: The demographic data were no different in terms of age, blood pressure, body mass index, body weight, height, parity and types of delivery. As from CRCT analysis, mean value of CRCT from colostrum in samples from preterm and term groups were 5.89±2.20% and 6.59±2.50%, (p > 0.05). Secondary analysis of age, maternal total weight gain, body mass index at delivery, hypertension, diabetes, parity, route of delivery, hematocrit at delivery and newborn birth weight were no difference.
Conclusion: By using CRCT analysis, the outcome of fat concentration for both delivery groups showed no differenceand no effect from age, body weight, total weight gain during gestation, parity, maternal blood pressure and types of delivery.
