Correlation of haematological parameters and C‐reactive protein between cord blood and first post‐natal blood sample in preterm neonates: A prospective observational study

There is some recent evidence on the utility of the cord blood as a reliable source for admission complete blood count in preterm neonates. However, there is a need to validate other laboratory parameters from the cord blood such as C‐reactive protein (CRP) to rule out neonatal sepsis. The present study was carried out to evaluate the correlation between haematological parameters and CRP obtained from the cord blood to the first post‐natal blood sample, for it to be considered as a reliable alternative.
