“…The platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) was suggested by previous studies to be a strong predictor of inflammation (3,5) . It is a good indicator of platelet activation, lymphocyte function, and immune response (3) In obstetrics, the PLR was previously studied as a new inflammatory marker for the diagnosis of preterm premature rupture of membranes, (6) as a predictor for severity of preeclampsia, (7,8,9) and Kurtoglu et al (10) reported that it may be useful in the discrimination of benign and malignant endometrial lesions, and early and advanced-stage endometrial cancer.…”

Objective:To determine the role of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in predicting poor neonatal outcome among preterm births (PTB).Materials and Methods:The medical records of 439 PTBs and 200 normal pregnancies were reviewed retrospectively using some personal and obstetric data, as well as complete blood count reports.Results:There were significantly poor neonatal outcomes among PTBs in regard to birth weight, APGAR score, morbidity, and mortality. There were significantly poor outcomes for preterm neonates delivered to mothers with PLR ≥80 at delivery for low APGAR score, respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage and perinatal death. There was a significant negative correlation between maternal PLR at delivery and birth weight, as well as gestational age of PTB.Conclusion:Maternal PLR at delivery has a significant relationship with neonatal outcomes. It can predict preterm neonates with poor outcomes.

“…A study that investigated the NLR and PLR in preeclamptic patients found a correlation between the PLR, but not the NLR, and the severity of preeclampsia. 52 These authors concluded that the PLR could indicate maternal immune activation in preeclampsia. Monitoring the symptoms observed in pregnant women who have preterm labour and being able to predict preterm birth, and managing complications and neonatal outcomes are important.…”

Objective: This study aimed to estimate the importance of complete blood count parameters for predicting the timing of birth in threatened preterm labour cases. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of 92 patients who were diagnosed with threatened preterm labour (24-34 gestational weeks). The patients were divided into two groups according to the time of birth (group 1: delivered within the first week after diagnosis; group 2: delivered later than 1 week). We compared characteristics and complete blood count parameters between these two groups.Results: There were no significant differences in maternal age, body mass index, gravida, parity, haemoglobin levels, and gestational weeks between the two groups. The mean cervical length was 24.24 AE 3.60 mm in group 1 and 30.70 AE 5.32 mm in group 2. There were significant differences in the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, white blood cell count, red cell distribution width (RDW), absolute lymphocyte cell count, and absolute neutrophil cell count between the two groups. Conclusion: Maternal serum RDW, the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, white blood cell count, absolute lymphocyte cell count, and the absolute neutrophil cell count profile could guide clinicians in predicting the time of birth in threatened preterm labour cases. KeywordsRed cell distribution width (RDW), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), preterm birth, delivery, cervical length, white blood cells Date

“…Therefore, we think that the results of this study are very important. PLR is associated with maternal immune activation and is therefore thought to increase more in inflammation-related processes such as pre-eclampsia and preterm labor (1) . In the materials and methods section of this study, we observed that the obstetric characteristics of the pregnant women group were not specified.…”
