Summary
This study looked at 120 full-term babies born with meconium-stained amniotic fluid to see if a blood test for interleukin-6 (IL-6) could predict which ones would develop meconium aspiration syndrome, a serious lung condition. Researchers measured IL-6 levels using a standard lab test. The goal was to find a way to identify at-risk babies early, but this was an observational study, not a treatment.
