Mean platelet volume in gestational diabetes mellitus

Öz

Objectives: This study aims to compare mean platelet volume of pregnants with gestational diabetes mellitus to a healthy control group and to detect the relationship between mean platelet volume and fasting blood glucose.

Materials and methods: Patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (n=43) were compared to a healthy control group (n=43) retrospectively by searching medical records.

Results: Platelet count and mean platelet volume of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus and the control group were not statistically significantly different. There was no statistically significant correlation between mean platelet volume and fasting blood glucose of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (r=-0.207, p=0.189). Complete blood count results of the two groups were compared, only hemoglobin levels were statistically significantly different.

Conclusion: There was no difference in mean platelet volume of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus and controls. There was also no relationship between mean platelet volume and fasting blood glucose of patients with gestational diabetes mellitus.

Keywords: Gestational diabetes mellitus; hemoglobin level; mean platelet volume.

Gestasyonel diabetes mellitusu olan gebelerde ortalama trombosit hacmi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmada sağlıklı kontrol grubunu oluşturan gebeler ve gestasyonel diabetes mellitus olanların ortalama trombosit hacimleri karşılaştırıldı ve ortalama trombosit hacmi ile açlık kan şekeri arasındaki ilişki araştırıldı.Gereç ve yöntemler: Tıbbi kayıtları retrospektif olarak araştırılarak gestasyonel diabetes mellitusu olan hastalar (n=43), sağlıklı gebe kontrol grubu (n=43) ile karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Kontrol grubunu oluşturan sağlıklı gebelerde ve gestasyonel diabetes mellitusu olanlarda yapılan trombosit sayımı ve ortalama trombosit hacmi arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulunmadı. Gestasyonel diabetes mellitusu olan hastaların açlık kan şekeri ve ortalama trombosit hacmi arasında da istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki bulunmadı (r=-0,207, p=0.189). Her iki grubun tüm kan sayımı parametreleri karşılaştırıldığında, sadece hemoglobin seviyelerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık bulundu.Sonuç: Kontrol grubunu oluşturan sağlıklı gebeler ve gestasyonel diabetes mellitus olan hastalardaki ortalama trombosit hacmi arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktur. Ayrıca gestasyonel diabetes mellitus olan hastaların açlık kan şekerleri ile ortalama trombosit hacmi arasında bir ilişki bulunamamıştır
