METHOD FOR PREDICTION OF CEREBRAL ISCHEMIA IN FULL-TERM NEWBORNS BORN BY MOTHERS WHOSE PREGNANCY WAS COMPLICATED BY FOETAL GROWTH RESTRICTION Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC G01N33/68 G01N33/573 G01N33/49 

FIELD: medical science.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to obstetrics and gynaecology, neonatology, and can be used for prediction of cerebral ischemia in full-term newborns of the mothers whose pregnancy was complicated by foetal growth restriction. Peripheral venous blood is sampled from pregnant women suffering foetal growth restriction on 22-37th week of gestation. Blood apelin concentration is determined. If its value is 20.9 ng/ml or less, early neonatal cerebral ischemia is predicted to develop in full-term newborns of the mothers whose pregnancy was complicated by intrauterine growth restriction.

EFFECT: method enables the earlier prediction of cerebral ischemia in the full-term newborns of the mothers whose pregnancy was complicated by foetal growth restriction by determining the blood apelin concentration in the pregnant women.
