Magnitude and Associated Factors of Thrombocytopenia among Pregnant Women Attending Antenatal Care Clinics at Dessie Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northeast Ethiopia
BACKGROUND: Thrombocytopenia is a common hematological abnormality during gestation. Pregnant women with severe thrombocytopenia may be associated with a higher risk of excessive bleeding during or after delivery. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to assess the magnitude and associated facto...

description | BACKGROUND: Thrombocytopenia is a common hematological abnormality during gestation. Pregnant women with severe thrombocytopenia may be associated with a higher risk of excessive bleeding during or after delivery. Therefore, the main aim of this study was to assess the magnitude and associated factors of thrombocytopenia among pregnant women attending antenatal care services at Dessie comprehensive and specialized hospital, Northeast Ethiopia. METHODS: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to March 2021. Using a systematic random sampling technique, a total of 294 pregnant women were enrolled in the study. Structured interviewer-administered questionnaires were used to collect socio-demographic and clinical data of study participants. Four ml of venous blood were collected from each pregnant woman and a complete blood count was determined using DIRUI BF 6500 automated hematology analyzer. Data were entered into Epidata version 4.6.0 and then exported into SPSS version 24.0. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the association between dependent and independent variables. P-value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS: A total of 294 pregnant women who visited antenatal care services at Dessie comprehensive specialized hospital were included. The mean (±SD) age of the study participants was 29.7 (±6.1) years. The prevalence of thrombocytopenia among pregnant women was 9.9% (95% CI: 6.5, 13.6). A mild type of thrombocytopenia is the major type and accounted for 72.4% whereas moderate thrombocytopenia and severe thrombocytopenia accounted for 17.2% and 10.4% respectively among pregnant women. Multivariate logistic regression showed that urban residents (AOR: 0.206,95% CI, 0.055-0.748), gestational ages within the first trimester (AOR: 0.183, 95% CI, 0.057-0.593) and gestational ages within the second trimester (AOR = 0.264, 95% CI, 0.092-0.752) were significantly associated and independent predictors of thrombocytopenia in pregnant women. CONCLUSION: In this study, the prevalence of thrombocytopenia was 9.9% and the mild type of thrombocytopenia (72.4%) was higher than the other type of thrombocytopenia among pregnant women. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, residence and gestational age (trimester) were significantly associated with thrombocytopenia. Therefore, the platelet count should be routinely determined during the antenatal care visit for proper diagnosis and to minimize bleeding during and or after childbirth. |
