Table 2. Cortisol and prolactin concentration in peripheral blood and umbilical cord blood at delivery.
Babies | Mothers | Overall | P-value | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Prolactin (ng/ml) [IQR] | 529.0 [386.3–712.7] | 324.6 [206.6–375.2] | 256.9 [16.1–461.9] | 0.001 |
Cortisol (ng/ml) [IQR] | 143.5 [119.2–179.6] | 162.9 [127.3–190.5] | 124.4 [89.8–170.0] | 0.158 |
Table 2 summarize the concentration of prolactin and cortisol in babies and mothers at delivery. The difference was statistically different for prolactin but not for cortisol.
