Background
Pregnancy is a prothrombotic condition which can be abnormally exaggerated in women with thrombophilia.
Methods
In a prospective study, patients who delivered at term, by cesarean section, between 1 October 2017 and 1 December 2021, who already had a diagnosis of thrombophilia before coming to our hospital, were included in the study group (
n
= 80). A similar number of nonthrombophilia patients (
n
= 80) without any history of thrombotic events, age‐ and para‐matched with the study group, were included in the control group. The postpartum uterine ultrasonographic scale (PUUS) values, in the first 24–48 h, were correlated with the patients' data.
Results
The P‐LCR (platelet large cell ratio), was significantly higher in the treated thrombophilia group (
p
= 0.042). There was no correlation between PUUS and complete blood count values, coagulation factors, maternal characteristics, or fetal outcomes, except for postpartum neutrophils (
p
= 0.047) and postpartum platelet count (
p
= 0.046).
Conclusions
Postpartum uterine involution was not significantly different, after cesarean section, between treated thrombophilia patients and nonthrombophilia patients. Involution correlated only with postpartum neutrophils and postpartum platelet count.
