Table 1 Metabolic control of PKU females during pregnancy, comparing dried blood Phe concentrations in planned and unplanned pregnancies (Mann-Whitney U-test)
From: Ten years of specialized adult care for phenylketonuria – a single-centre experience
Metabolic control during pregnancy | planned n = 16 | unplanned n = 9 | P |
|---|---|---|---|
Median (range) number of laboratory controls | 36 (17–47) | 17 (1–30) | <0.001 |
Median (range) dried blood Phe concentration μmol/l | 181 (101–485) | 476 (172–878) | <0.001 |
Offspring with clinical signs of maternal PKU syndrome | 0 | 3 |
