PubMed Abstract of study to determine the association of hypotonia and depression in neonates at or near term with metabolic acidemia at birth (umbilical arterial pH<-12 mM).
Pub Med Article Abstract presents a short clinical review of metabolic diseases associated with metabolic acidosis in the newborn and discusses appropriate investigations and
differential diagnoses. It is important to remember the possibility of metabolic diseases as the cause of metabolic acidosis in the newborn period.

1992 Study to determine if there was a significant association between an intrapartum amniotic fluid index (AFI) < or = 5.0 cm and neonatal acidosis (umbilical arterial pH < 7.20 or metabolic acidosis [umbilical arterial pH < 7.20 and base deficit > 10 mEq/L]).
