METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF EARLY ANAEMIA OF PREMATURE NEWBORNS Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC A61B5/00 G01N33/48 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to neonatology, paediatrics and haematology, and represents a method for prediction of development of early anaemia of premature infants in the first month of life in deep-seated children born with body weight less than 1500 g. Weight and height of the child at birth and gestational age are determined. Content in peripheral venous blood on 3–5^th day of life of the insulin-like growth factor and protein-3 binding the insulin-like growth factor is determined. Prognostic index (D) is calculated by an original calculation formula. If D is more than 0, the development of early anaemia of premature infants in the first month of life is predicted; if D is less than 0, the absence of early anaemia of premature infants is predicted.

EFFECT: method enables distinguishing a risk group among premature newborns weighing less than 1500 g for development of the early anaemia of premature infants in the first month of life and performing timely preventive measures that improves health and quality of life of these children.
