Abstract

Early hypocalcemia, which occurs during the first 48 hours of birth, is an important electrolyte disorder of neonatal period. Any delay or failure in the diagnosis of this disorder may result in dangerous and irreversible complications such as seizure and death. Thus, this retrospective - cross sectional study was designed to evaluate prevalence, etiology and clinical presentation of early neonatal hypocalcemia among cases admitted at hospitals of Hamedan in 2002. Material & Method: This study was done by preparation of the checklist of necessary information gotten from the patients, Ides and then analysis of the data with SPSSI0 software. 25 cases (13.9%) out of 180 neonates of less than 48 – hour-old had hypoclacemia, 17cases (68%) of them experienced asphyxia, 7 cases (28%) PREMATURITY, 17cases (28%) PREMATURITY and lease (4%) was infant of a diabetic mother. Clinical presentations of early hypocalcaemia were: Seizure (45%), decreased neonatal reflexes (37%) and excitability (18%). The findings imply that early neonatal hypocalcemia was relatively frequent in our study group and its clinical presentation was similar to other studies carried out in other countries ,but the first cause of this disorder in our study was ASPHYXIA while it was PREMATURITY in other countries. There is a significant correlation between neonatal ASPHYXIA and PREMATURITY with early neonatal hypocalcemia.
