Objectives: Red cell distribution width (RDW), mean platelet volume (MPV), plateletcrit (PCT), platelet distribution width (PDW), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have all been identified as systemic inflammatory markers. The aim of this study to investigate whether the use of systemic inflammatory markers can predict early pregnancy loss. Material and methods: A total of 137 patients with early pregnancy loss was compared with 148 participants in the control group who had given birth at term. In the study group, CBC values were included in the study at the time of referral to the hospital for routine follow-up, while patients did not experience early pregnancy loss. In the control group, CBC values of the patient before the seventh week of pregnancy were included in the study. results: There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of RDW, MPV, PCT and PDW values. The NLR and PLR values were significantly higher in the early pregnancy loss group than the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that high NLR and PLR values are potent markers for the prediction of early pregnancy loss.
Background: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19); It was more devastating in people with comorbidities such as advanced age and immunodeficiency. Another group affected by COVID-19 was pregnant women. Immunological changes during pregnancy and conditions such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia that occur during pregnancy also have effects on the fetus. Objective: We aimed to analyze the effects of PCR-proven COVID-19 infection during pregnancy on fetus and newborn. Study Design: Data from pregnant women with COVID-19 symptoms or a history of contact with people with COVID-19 who were infected with PCR-proven COVID-19 virus between December 2019 and October 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical and laboratory data of pregnant women were analyzed. Death data associated with -19 were evaluated. Clinical and laboratory findings of newborns related to COVID-19 and mortality data related to COVID-19 were recorded. Results: 327 pregnant women whose births were terminated by continuing their follow-up in our hospital were evaluated. 185 (56.6%) of the pregnant women had at least one COVID-19-related symptom. Thoracic computed tomography of ten cases included COVID-19 findings. Fifty-three (16.2%) pregnant women were over 35 years old. No significant difference was found between pregnancy over 35 years of age and maternal death. The rate of hospitalization in the intensive care unit of mothers with diabetes was statistically higher (p=0.034). The mortality rate was higher in preeclamptic mothers (p=0.029). A total of 34 infants died; 21 died in the intrauterine period and 13 died in the postnatal period. 5 of the neonatal deaths were due to COVID-19. Conclusion: While COVID-19 infection in pregnancy seriously affects mortality and morbidity in pregnant women, it also causes mortality and morbidity on the fetus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
