Abstract
Abstract: The aim of present study was to find out the prevalence of thrombocytopenia in pregnant women of central India and to see their clinic-hematological findings. A total of 800 pregnant women were screened for thrombocytopenia. Complete blood count was done in all the women to see the hematological findings. Maternal and fetal outcome was recorded in specialized predesigned proforma. Prevalence of thrombocytopenia was 11.4%. Highest incidence (46.8%) of thrombocytopenia was observed in 2nd trimester. Incidence of thrombocytopenia was maximum in nulliparous group (66%). Anemia was more profound in thrombocytopenic patients with a mean hemoglobin 9.88±1.67 gm/dl. The MCV, MCH and PDW values were same in case and control group. The MCHC value was more in cases with the mean value of 32.2± 2.55g/dL. The mean platelet volume were more in thrombocytopenic patients with a mean value of 9.3± 0.94 fl. Gestational age was observed more in 37-40 weeks duration (43.6%). Women with thrombocytopenia were more likely to deliver preterm (<37 weeks) compared with women without thrombocytopenia.Pregnant women should be screened for thrombocytopenia at each trimester.
