Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and perinatal characteristics were reviewed. FAR, PAR, and APRI\u00a0were calculated from standard laboratory data. A composite poor neonatal outcome was defined as the presence of at least one of the following: Apgar score &lt;7 at 5\u202fmin, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), meconium aspiration, neonatal sepsis, or admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Diagnostic performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and multivariate logistic regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2025-0323_abs_003\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FAR and APRI values were significantly higher in the IHCP group compared to controls (p&lt;0.05).
