Abstract

The objective was to investigate obstetric risk factors, complications, and outcomes of pregnancies complicated by moderate to severe thrombocytopenia. A retrospective case-control study comparing 199 pregnant women with moderate to severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count below 100x10(9)/l) with 201 pregnant women without thrombocytopenia, who delivered between January 2003 to April 2004. Stratified analysis, using the Mantel-Haenszel procedure was performed in order to control for confounders. The main causes of thrombocytopenia were gestational thrombocytopenia (GT) (59.3%), immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) (11.05%), preeclampsia (10.05%), and HELLP (Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes and low platelet count) syndrome (12.06%). Women with thrombocytopenia were significantly older (30.7+/-5.9 versus 28.7+/-5.7; p=0.001) compared with patients without thrombocytopenia, and had higher rates of labor induction (OR=4.0, 95% CI=2.2-7.6, p<0.001) and preterm deliveries (OR=3.5, 95% CI=1.9-6.5, p<0.001). Even after controlling for labor induction, using the Mantel-Haenszel technique, thrombocytopenia was significantly associated with preterm delivery (weighted OR=3.14, 95% CI=1.7-6.0, p<0.001). Higher rates of placental abruption ...Continue Reading
