Thrombocytopenia, defined as a platelet count of less than 150 000/ μL 1 complicates approximately 10% of all pregnancies. 2-4 However, the prevalence of thrombocytopenia is much higher in multi-fetal pregnancies and its reported rate is as high as 17-36.5%. [5][6][7] This high rate of thrombocytopenia can be partially explained by the enhanced platelet reactivity and hemodilution, which is more pronounced in multiple gestations as compared to singletons. 5 The association of mild thrombocytopenia, defined as a platelet count between 100 000 and 149 999/μL 1 with hemorrhage-related morbidities and postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) has been studied in the general obstetric population, mainly focusing on singleton pregnancies. 1,2,[8][9][10][11] Recently, higher rates of PPH were reported in
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.
