Mild thrombocytopenia indicating maternal organ damage in pre‐eclampsia: a cross‐sectional study

Abstract Background Currently, there is a disagreement between guidelines regarding platelet count cut-off values as sign of maternal organ damage in pre-eclampsia; the American College Obstetricians and Gynecologists state value < 100 × 10 9 /L; however, International Society for Study Hypertension Pregnancy specify 150 /L. We evaluated effect mild thrombocytopenia: /L ≥ on clinical features pre-eclampsia to examine whether thrombocytopenia reflects pre-eclampsia. Methods A total 264 women were enrolled this study. Participants divided into three groups based levels at delivery: normal, thrombocytopenia, severe Risk hypertension, utero-placental dysfunction, damage, preterm delivery, neonatal intensive care unit admission analyzed levels. Estimated relative risk was calculated with Poisson regression analysis robust error. Results Platelet counts indicated normal 189 patients, 51 24 patients. The estimated risks 4.46 [95 % confidence interval, 2.59–7.68] except 1.61 [1.06–2.45] delivery 34 gestational weeks, 1.35 [1.06–1.73] admission. On other hand, 0.97 [0.41–2.26] 0.91 [0.62–1.35] [0.76–1.24] Conclusions Mild not associated would be suitable damage.
