Thrombosis and hemostasis parameters in early life – the copenhagen baby heart and compare studies

Background and Aims: The neonatal coagulation system is not fully developed at birth. Reliable reference values in newborns and during early childhood are not well described, complicating clinical decision making within thrombosis and hemostasis. The aim of this study is to evaluate values of coagulation parameters at birth and two months after birth, and to test whether cord blood measurements can be used as proxy for neonatal venous blood measurements.
