Core Tip	The reference ranges for biochemical parameters can fluctuate due to factors like altitude, age, gender, and socioeconomic conditions. These values are crucial for interpreting laboratory data and guide clinical treatment decisions. Currently, there is no established set of reference intervals for cord blood biochemical parameters of newborns. This study seeks to create these reference intervals.
