Prevalence and causes of thrombocytopenia in pregnant women from North-east India
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 5
Abstract
Thrombocytopenia is the second most common hematological abnormality in pregnancy following anemia. This prospective study, the first of its kind from this region, was conducted on 600 pregnant women for a period of one year to determine the prevalence and causes of thrombocytopenia and its consequences on both mother and child. These women were screened and investigated for aetiological diagnosis of thrombocytopenia. Fetomaternal outcome were also recorded. Prevalence of thrombocytopenia was 8.3%, most common cause was gestational thrombocytopenia in 80%, followed by hypertensive disorders in 16%. Mode of delivery was not affected by thrombocytopenia. No maternal or neonatal bleeding complications were observed. The low platelet counts and declining trends with increasing gestational age predispose North-East Indian women to the risk of thrombocytopenia. Therefore a routine antenatal platelet count is suggested.
