Other neonatal outcomes (graphs 01/23 to 01/48)No significant difference was seen for any of the perinatal mortalitysubgroups (seven RCTs; 3446 babies) or congenital malformations(five RCTs).None of the following outcomes showed significant differencesbetween the zinc and no-zinc groups: Apgar scores less than fiveat five minutes, neonatal hypoxia, jaundice, fever, infant umbilicalinfection, neonatal sepsis, respiratory distress syndrome, neonatalintraventricular haemorrhage, necrotising enterocolitis, neonatalhospital stay and lack of tubercular response. Each of these outcomes was only available from one or two RCTs.In one RCT of 176 babies (Peru 2004), four measures of fetal heartrate (fetal heart rate, number of fetal movement bouts, fetal activity level, and fetal movement amplitude) showed no differencesbetween the zinc and no-zinc groups, while fetal heart rate variability and number of fetal accelerations were significantly higherin the zinc groups.
