Abstract
The percentage of fetal hemoglobin was determined in 200 samples of cord blood and an attempt was made to correlate this percentage with fetal age and weight. In the term group fetal hemoglobin varied from 55 to 95 per cent with an average of 73.3 per cent. The preterm group averaged 80.6 per cent with a range of 66 to 92 per cent, while the postterm group had an average of 67.6 per cent with a range of 42 to 80 per cent.The average per cent of fetal hemoglobin in infants weighing between 2,500 grams and 4,000 grams was 74.1 per cent. Those infants below 2,500 grams had an average of 84.6 per cent and those over 4,000 grams had an average of 66.2 per cent.
