title: [Blood levels of maternal glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1) in the 3d day of the puerperium and neonatal anthropometric parameters].
abstract: In the present study the Authors considered some neonatal anthropometric parameters such as head and chest circumference besides the neonatal weight and placental weight that may be more expressive of the fetal growth. All these parameters were correlated separately and jointly with maternal HbA1 levels of the third day of the post partum period. All mothers spent a pregnancy without any clinical and metabolic disorder. The data show a significant higher HbA1 mean value, than the controls, in mothers whose newborn showed one or more parameters like/superior the 90th centile. This finding may suggest that the evaluation of all the parameters together, the maternal HbA1 value can give more informations about the fetal growth.
