Abstract


Objective: To establish usefulness of mean platelet volume values in second trimester of pregnancy as predictor of development of preeclampsia. Materials and methods: A prospective research was done in 504 nuliparous pregnant women between 17 and 20 weeks who assisted to Antenatal Consult. General characteristics, mean platelet volume values and prognosis efficacy were evaluated. Results: Cases were 41 pregnant women who develop preeclampsia (Group A) and 463 pregnant women that were considered as controls (Group B). There were not found significant differences in maternal age, gestational age and systolic and diastolic blood pressure at the moment of ultrasound evaluation (p = ns). Gestational age at the moment of diagnosis of preeclampsia in group A was 35.0 +/- 3.2 weeks. There was found significant differences in mean platelet volume values between patients in group A (10.15 +/- 0.57 fL) and patients in group B (9.65 +/- 0.61 fL; p < 0.0001). A cut-off value of 9.50 fL had a value under the curve of 0.714, sensitivity of 85.4%, specificity of 40.6%, positive predictive value of 11.3% and negative predictive value of 96.5%. Conclusion: Mean platelet volume values in second trimester are not useful to predict the development of preeclampsia.
