The Association between Platelet Parameters and Unexplained Recurrent Miscarriagea

Abstract

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a correlation among the PLT parameters of mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet crit (PCT), and platelet (PLTs) distribution width (PDW) and unexplained RM.Patients and Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 70 women, ranging in age from 18 to 30 years, who had a history of Recurrent Miscarriagea (RM) (defined as two or more consecutive miscarriages). There were two equal categories of women: Group A: with history of recurrent unexplained miscarriage and Group B: without history of RM and has been delivered at least once before. All were subjected to MPV, PCT, and PDW measurements.Results: The mean age in the case category was 28.89±5.69 years, while in the control category was 31.26 ± 5.30 years. The mean of BMI in the case category was 25.44 ± 2.77 kg/m2, whereas in the control category, was 25.26 ± 2.44 kg/m2. Both categories showed significantly different gravidity and parity (P <0.05). No statistically significant differences were seen in the PLT count, MPV, PDW, or PCT among the two categories.Conclusions: In women with unexplained RM, PLT count, and indices were shown to be like those in women without RM.
