Incidence and Clinical Outcome of Neonatal Thrombocytopenia at a Tertiary Care Hospital - A Prospective Observational Study
Abstract: Background: Neonatal thrombocytopenia (NT) is one amongst the most common hematological abnormality encountered in NICU. Aim of the present study was to find out the incidence and clinical outcome of NT and also studied the maternal and fetal risk factors, clinical course of NT during hospital stay. Method: A total of 100 neonates admitted to NICU were enrolled and studied in the Department of Pediatrics at Tertiary Care Centre in India during a period from 1st January 2020 to 31st December 2020. Results: The incidence of thrombocytopenia was 64%, of which severe thrombocytopenia was 32.81% in our NICU. Commonest etiologic factor associated with thrombocytopenia was septicaemia (48.43%). Neonatal factors associated with thrombocytopenia, especially severe thrombocytopenia was age at presentation, septicaemia, NEC and assisted ventilation. Maternal PIH was significantly associated with NT (p
