METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF DEGREE OF SEVERITY OF HYPOXIC PERINATAL CNS DAMAGE IN NEWBORNS Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC G01N33/52 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: what is described is a method for prediction of a degree of severity of perinatal hypoxic central nervous system damage in newborns by studying of biochemical blood plasma analysis wherein umbilical blood plasma is evaluated by the level of peroxinitrite, and if the value is 133.6-258 nmole/l, a moderate degree of severity of the CNS damage is predicted, while the values 259 nmole/l and higher shows a severe degree.

EFFECT: method provides high-accuracy prediction of perinatal hypoxic CNS damage in newborns at the stage of maternity hospital care when the clinical symptoms and signs are possibly absent; that enables prescribing a well-timed pathogenetic therapy.
