Abstract
The mean erythropoietin concentration in the cord blood of neonates whose mothers were smokers was greater than in neonates whose mothers were not smokers. There was a significant positive correlation between erythropoietin and hemoglobin concentrations. The findings suggest that approximately one of five fetuses who are exposed to tobacco smoke are in a state of chronic hypoxia.Entities:
