Evaluation of first-trimester neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio values in pregnancies complicated by intrauterine growth retardation
Journal Title: Turkish Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Year 2020, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is to compare the first-trimester hemogram parameters [neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR)] of pregnant women complicated by intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) and normal pregnant women. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the medical records of pregnant women (n=50) complicated with IUGR and pregnant women in the control group (n=50). Results: The first-trimester NLR and PLR values of the pregnant women complicated by IUGR were 6.59±1.12 and 117.2±16.00, respectively. The first-trimester NLR and PLR values of the pregnant women in the control group were 2.84±0.55 and 112.80±13.01, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups with respect to NLR (p<0.001). Conclusion: Pregnancies complicated by IUGR have high neonatal mortality and morbidity rates. Therefore, the early diagnosis of disease and appropriate management are extremely crucial for both fetal and maternal prognoses. High NLR values in the first trimester may contribute to the early diagnosis of IUGR.
