Study of thrombomodulin level in infants with respiratory problems of diabetic mothers

ABSTRACT

In our study, we found statistical significant increase in the soluble form of thrombomodulin PTM was positively correlated to the duration of the disease, age of the mother, PCO2 [in BOA] and CRP. The longer the duration of symptoms, the older the age of the mother or the higher in the PCO2 or CRP +ve, the higher will be PTM. In the other hand, PTM was negatively correlated to gestational age, Apgar score, PH in [BOA], HCO3 in [BGA] and platelet count. The in the Apgar score, PH, HCO3 and platelet count, the lower will be PTM level
