Abstract
This is the initial reporting of IMA levels in cord blood from normal deliveries compared to healthy adult ranges and neonates from complicated deliveries. Cord blood IMA levels may be an indicator of fetal ischemia and/or hypoxia. This test could become an additional biomarker to be used in conjunction with other markers and/or clinical scores aimed at determining risk of neurological complications of fetal distress.
