Does prematurity affect platelet indices?

Abstract:

PURPOSE:The current study objective was to compare blood platelet indices in preterm newborns (PTN) and full term newborns (FTN). MATERIALS AND METHODS:We introduced to our study 51 PTN (25 females, 26 males) and 55 FTN (25 females, 30 males). Platelet indices were estimated in blood samples collected from the umbilical artery. RESULTS:PTN demonstrated a decreased count of blood platelets (197 x 103/microL) as compared to FTN (287 x 103/microL), p=0.0001. Platelet hematocrit (PCT) also showed substantial differences in both groups (PTN=0.16% vs. FTN=0.22%; p=0.001). Mean platelet volume (MPV) was found to be nearly the same (PTN=8.02 fl, FTN=7.79 fl). Platelet distribution width (PDW) was higher in PTN (50.64%) than in FTN (46.54%), p=0.021. Large platelet count (LPLT) was diminished in PTN (5.23%) in comparison with FTN (6.12 %). CONCLUSIONS:A decreased count of blood platelets, platelet hematocrit and increased platelet distribution width may result from a low gestational age or a dysfunction of megakaryocytes and the placenta. Blood platelet indices may be vital in the diagnosis of haemostatic disorders.
