OBJECTIVE: To compare the hematocrit, platelet count (PC), mean platelet volume ( @entity6688 ), platelet distribution width (PDW), PC to @entity6688 ratio in the mild preeclamptic (mPE), severe preeclamptic (sPE) and healthy normotensive pregnant @entity1 to evaluate whether these parameters have a predictive and prognostic significance in determining the risk and the severity of @entity1468 ( @entity1468 ). METHODS: A retrospective case-control study was designed including the @entity1 population (N   =   284) composed of 49 mPE, 70 sPE, 165 healthy normotensive pregnant @entity1 for controls. Preceding medical histories of all the cases were insignificant. RESULTS: In comparison of the preeclamptic @entity1 with controls; there was statistically significant difference in PC (p   =   0.023; p   <   0.05), @entity6688 (p   =   0.023; p   <   0.05), PC/ @entity6688 ratio (p   =   0.005; p   <   0.01). But there was no difference between sPE and mPE. Cut-off value for @entity6688 was calculated as 9 for the diagnosis of @entity1468 (p   <   0.01), the odds ratio was 1.999. The cut off value for PC was 190, the odds ratio was 1.932. The cut off value was 19.9 for the PLT/ @entity6688 , the odds ratio was 2.42. CONCLUSION: We suggest that the increasing platelet turnover in @entity1468 causes a decrease in the PC, an increase of @entity6688 value and especially a decrease in PC/ @entity6688 ratio pointing that these parameters may play an important role in predicting the risk of @entity1468 while they have no role on predicting the severity of @entity1468 . According to our findings we can suggest that the @entity1 with these cut-off values of PC and platelet indices, should be carefully followed for the development of @entity1468 .
