Birth order of index infant was significant determinant of cessation of EBF among factors about child characteristics.
Parental competency to read and understand the individuality and needs of their infant is significant in decreasing parental stress [ 5] and enhances cognitive outcome and social functioning in the infants [ 18].
The overall mortality rate in these infants was significant (30%).
Furthermore, the IAP of cases with live infants was significant lower than that of those patients with non-viable pregnancies.
All five variables related to infant temperament were significant in the uni-variate analysis including: baby having trouble sleeping, baby being demanding, baby not being content, baby being a difficult feeder and baby being difficult to comfort.
In multivariate analysis, maternal CD4 < 250, infant HIV status, less breastfeeding, low birth weight, non-vaginal delivery, and infant gestational age were significant risk factors for underweight and stunting.
As expected, these measures increased significantly with infant age, and there were significant differences between boys and girls.
Multivariate analyses were conducted to understand the profile of investigations involving infants (n=1,203) and which predictors were significant in the decision to transfer a case to ongoing services at the conclusion of the investigation.
We have observed that IGF-BP3 levels are increased in the serum of GDM mothers and their macrosomic infants and IGF-I levels were significant correlated with IGF-BP3 in macrosomic newborns (r = 0.36, n = 30, P = 0.04).
Post-hoc paired t-tests indicated these differences were significant between infants described as having mild and moderate risk (t((94) = -3.2, p =.002), mild and severe risk (t((94) = -4.8, p <.001), and moderate and severe risk (t((94) = -5.0, p <.001), Thus, participants believed the infants had different levels of risk when they provided ratings for the video clips.
