OBJECTIVE To compare the early post-natal pattern of systemic inflammation in growth-restricted infants born before the 28th week of gestation to that of appropriately grown peers. METHODS We measured the concentrations of 25 inflammation-related proteins in blood spots collected from 939 newborns during the first 2 post-natal weeks. We calculated the odds ratios (99% confidence intervals) that concentrations would be in the highest quartile. RESULTS Severely growth-restricted infants (birth weight Z-score <-2) were not at increased risk of systemic inflammation shortly after birth. On post-natal day 14, however, they were significantly more likely than their peers to have a CRP, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-8, MCP-4, ICAM-1, ICAM-3, E-SEL, MMP-9, VEGF-R2 and/or IGFBP-1 concentration in the highest quartile. These increased risks could not be attributed to delivery indication, bacteremia or duration of ventilation. CONCLUSIONS Growth-restricted preterm newborns appear to be at increased risk of elevated concentrations of inflammation-associated proteins by post-natal day 14.

D016015 Logistic Models Statistical models which describe the relationship between a qualitative dependent variable (that is, one which can take only certain discrete values, such as the presence or absence of a disease) and an independent variable. A common application is in epidemiology for estimating an individual's risk (probability of a disease) as a function of a given risk factor.

D016017 Odds Ratio The ratio of two odds. The exposure-odds ratio for case control data is the ratio of the odds in favor of exposure among cases to the odds in favor of exposure among noncases. The disease-odds ratio for a cohort or cross section is the ratio of the odds in favor of disease among the exposed to the odds in favor of disease among the unexposed. The prevalence-odds ratio refers to an odds ratio derived cross-sectionally from studies of prevalent cases.
