Table 5. Relationship between maternal and neonatal factors and CD34+ cell counts of HIE patients.
Factor | CD34+% | Absolute CD34+ cell count (cells/μL) |
---|---|---|
p | p | |
Hobel risk score | 0.81 | 0.04 |
Birthweight (kg)* | 0.08 | 0.21 |
Thompson score | 0.349 | 0.04 |
hUCB TLC (×109 cells/L) | 0.02 | <0.001 |
hUCB NRBCs (cells/100 WBCs) | 0.187 | 0.01 |
CD34+% | - | <0.001 |
*Spearman's rank-order correlation test, p is significant if ≤0.05.
CD34+: CD34-positive, CD34+%: relative CD34+ cell count, HIE: hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, hUCB: human umbilical cord blood, NRBCs: nucleated red blood cells, TLC: total leukocyte count, WBC: white blood cell.
