The relationship between nutritional parameters and pregnancy outcomes in abortus imminens

Abstract

Aims: Abortus imminens (AI) is defined as vaginal bleeding and/or pelvic pain before the 20th week of pregnancy. It affects approximately 20% of pregnancies. The HALP score, which integrates hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet levels, is a marker of inflammation and nutritional status. This study investigates the association between the HALP score and AI and its potential role in predicting pregnancy outcomes. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at Ankara Etlik City Hospital between September 2022 and March 2024. A total of 254 patients with AI and 260 controls were included. Data on maternal demographics and laboratory parameters, including hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet levels, were collected. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 22.0, with significance set at p<0.05. Results: The HALP score was significantly higher in the AI group than in controls (p=0.002). However, no significant difference in HALP scores was observed between patients who experienced pregnancy loss and those who continued their pregnancies (p=0.350). Preterm birth, newborn intensive care unit admission, and respiratory distress were more frequent in AI cases. Conclusion: The HALP score is a practical and cost-effective tool for diagnosing AI. Further studies are needed to explore its clinical utility.
