“…The weights and crown rump lengths of litters and placental weights are known indicators of fetal development [49]. Birth weight is thus a reflection of intrauterine fetal growth which is also determined by factors like the amount of nutrients from the mother and the transporting capacity of such nutrients to the fetus by the placenta.…”

Introduction:To investigate whether certain leukocyte and platelet indices predict Small for Gestational Age (SGA) birth and/ or oligohydramnios. Materials and Methods:In this retrospective study, 408 pregnant women were included, who didn't have foreknown systemic diseases and other risk factors like drug use, smoking. Patients diagnosed with SGA birth (Group-I, n=59), SGA birth and oligohydramnios (Group-II, n=46), solely oligohydramnios (Group-III, n=23) and control group (Group-IV, n=280, matched for maternal age and body mass index) were selected from medical records. Leukocyte and platelet indices in first trimester and third trimester, demographic and obstetric data were obtained from medical records. Then, groups were compared.Results: Maternal ages and body mass indices were similar among groups. Total leukocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte and platelet counts, platelet indices (p<0.001), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratios (p<0.001) were significantly different between first and third trimester values in all patients. Platelet distribution width values of group-II in both trimester were significantly higher than ones of group-IV. Conclusion:Most hematologic parameters were not associated with SGA birth and/or oligohydramnios, but it was clarified that they differ significantly between first and third trimester. A new prospective study with larger sample size may present more definitive results.
