Meconium ferritin amounts and birth size of neonates: a pilot study
Systematic decreases in meconium ferritin amounts from 36 to 41 weeks of gestation may suggest a gradual and gestational age-appropriate maturation of the mechanisms responsible for adaptation of the fetus to postnatal life. Determining a cut-off value for meconium ferritin amounts could aid in optimal management of newborns after birth.
