Several factors are taken into account during risk assessment for neonatal disorders:
Maternal Health: Conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and infections during pregnancy can significantly impact neonatal outcomes. Genetic Factors: Family history of certain disorders can increase the likelihood of neonatal conditions. Prenatal Exposure: Exposure to drugs, alcohol, and environmental toxins can adversely affect fetal development. Birth Conditions: Premature birth, low birth weight, and complications during delivery are significant risk factors. Infections: Infections such as Group B Streptococcus and cytomegalovirus can cause severe neonatal complications.
