Diagnostic Utility of the CAN Score and Proportionality Indices and Variations in Neutrophil—and Platelet—Lymphocyte Ratios in Fetal Malnutrition

Background Nutritional status of neonates is best assessed using clinical assessment of nutrition (CAN) score and proportionality indices. The onset of malnutrition that begins in utero, termed fetal malnutrition (FM), can induce a state of inflammation. This study is aimed at estimating the prevale...

Description
Summary:Background Nutritional status of neonates is best assessed using clinical assessment of nutrition (CAN) score and proportionality indices. The onset of malnutrition that begins in utero, termed fetal malnutrition (FM), can induce a state of inflammation. This study is aimed at estimating the prevalence of FM in different classes of births along with analysis of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in cord blood as markers of inflammation. Materials and Methods It was a cross-sectional, descriptive study. The proportionality indices—body mass index (BMI), ponderal index (PI), and CAN score—were calculated. PI
