Abstract

Thrombocytopenia is a common hematologic abnormality during pregnancy. It may be a diagnostic and management
problem, and has many causes, some of them specific to pregnancy. We considered all singleton deliveries after 24 weeks
of gestation between 2007 and 2012 in our third level centre. Women with a platelet count <100 × 109/L, but who did not
suffer from the aforementioned diseases, were considered to have incidental thrombocytopenia. The aim of this study is to
investigate the incidences of moderate and severe gestational thrombocytopenia, to determine if the severity of maternal
gestational thrombocytopenia affect perinatal outcome and to define if the severity of maternal gestational thrombocytopenia
implicates the appearance of neonatal thrombocytopenia.
