BACKGROUND: Determination of the complete blood count (CBC) and reticulocyte reference range helps diagnose a disease related to changes in erythrocyte indices, white blood count, platelets, and reticulocytes, especially in newborns. AIM: The aim study is to establish a reference range for CBC and reticulocyte in healthy term newborns 1 week after birth. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study method is prospective analyses of CBC and reticulocyte in term newborns within 1 week after birth. Inclusion criteria are term newborn (gestational age 37–42 weeks) with good tone, breathing, or crying immediately, do not have resuscitation, and the birth weight is ≥2500 g. RESULTS: Two hundred and seventy-seven term newborns met the inclusion criteria. There were 145 (52.35%) male infants and 132 (47.65%) female infants. The reference range of newborns for hemoglobin (Hb) at P2.5–P97.5, P3–P97, P5–P95, and mean ± 2 standard deviation (SD) was 11.70–19.60 g/dL, 11.90–19.57 g/dL, 12.20–19.20 g/dL, and 11.35–19.63 g/dL, respectively. In addition, reference range of male newborns for Hb at P2.5–P97.5, P3–P97, P5–P95, and mean ± 2SD was 12.20–20.14 g/dL, 12.28–19.91 g/dL, 12.63–19.38 g/dL, and 11.47–20.15 g/dL, respectively. The reference range of female newborns for Hb at P2.5–P97.5, P3–P97, P5–P95, and mean ± 2 SD was 11.37–19.20 g/dL, 11.50–19.20 g/dL, 11.80–19.20 g/dL, and 11.37–18.93 g/dL, respectively. CONCLUSION: The reference range of CBC and reticulocyte for healthy term newborns, male newborns, and female newborns in this study can be used as a benchmark.

Background: In middle-income countries, malnutrition concentrates in marginalized populations with a lack of effective preventive strategies. Objective: Identify risk factors for undernutrition in a peri-urban Ecuadorian community of children aged 12 to 59 months. Methods: Data from a cross-sectional survey in 2011 of children 1 to 5 years were analyzed including demographic data, medical history and examination, food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), anthropometric measurements, and blood for complete blood count, C-reactive protein, vitamin A, iron, and zinc levels. Dietary Diversity Score (DDS) was calculated from FFQ. Bivariate and multivariate analysis assessed effects on primary outcome of undernutrition by DDS, vitamin deficiencies, and demographic and nutritional data. Results: N = 67, 52.2% undernourished: 49.3% stunted, 25.4% underweight, and 3% wasted; 74.6% (n = 50) were anemic and 95.1% (n = 39) had low serum zinc. Dietary Diversity Score was universally low (mean 4.91 ± 1.36, max 12). Undernutrition was associated with lower vitamin A levels (20 306, IQR: 16605.25-23973.75 vs 23665, IQR: 19292-26474 ng/mL, P = .04); underweight was associated with less parental report of illness (43.8%, n = 7 vs 80% n = 40, P = .005) and higher white blood count (13.7, IQR: 11.95-15.8 vs 10.9, IQR: 7.8-14.23 × 109/L, P = .02). In multiple regression, risk of undernutrition decreased by 4% for every $10 monthly income increase (95 CI%: 0.5%-7.4%, P = .02, n = 23); risk of underweight decreased by 0.06 for every increased DDS point (adjusted odds ratio: 0.06; 95 CI%: 0.004-0.91, P = .04, n = 23). Conclusions: In this peri-urban limited resource, mostly Indigenous Ecuadorian community, stunting exceeds national prevalence, lower monthly income is the strongest predictor of undernutrition, lower DDS can predict some forms of undernutrition, and vitamin deficiencies are associated with but not predictive of undernutrition.

Abstract Therapeutic delays in cases of external incarcerated hernias typically result in increasing morbidity, mortality, and health expenditures. We investigated the diagnostic role of blood fibrinogen level, white blood count (WBC), mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW) in patients with incarcerated hernia. Two groups, each containing 100 patients, were studied. Group A underwent elective, and group B underwent incarcerated and urgent external hernia repair. We observed high fibrinogen and WBC levels but low MPV and PDW values for patients in group B. Contrary to our expectations, we found lower MPV and PDW values in the complicated group than in the elective group. The morbidity rate and cost burden were higher in group B, and the results were statistically significant. Early operation should be recommended for patients with incarcerated external hernias if their fibrinogen and WBC levels are high.

Prevalence Of Anemia

Screening for anemia is recommended among infants aged 9 to 12 months. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of anemia among 9-month-old infants at Well Child Clinic, and associated factors with anemia. Well Child record of all visits during January to December 2018 were reviewed. Hemoglobin (Hb) was determined by complete blood count (CBC) or point-of-care Hb (POC-Hb). Anemia was found in 99 from 145 infants (68.3%). The prevalence of anemia was 33.3% and 72.8% when tested by CBC and POC-Hb, respectively. Breastfed Infants had significantly lower mean Hb than formula-fed infants. The odd ratio [95% confident interval] of having anemia among infants who were fed with infant formula were 0.37 [0.14-0.94]; P = .038 when compared to breastfed infants. There was a high proportion of anemia among 9-month-old infants in Rama-WCC and breastfeeding was associated with anemia in infants. The use of POC-Hb may overestimate the prevalence of anemia.

Disease Analysis

The aim of this study was to investigate RDW variability and conduct a comparative analysis of the RDW level in patients depending on their belonging to a defined nosological group of diseases according to the ICD-10 classification. All patients who complete blood count tests in our hospital from January to December 2016 were included in the study. The identification of the patient’s belonging to a specific nosological group according to the ICD-10 classification was carried out on the basis of the disease analysis code indicated in the direction of the blood test. 8056 patient records were included in the final analysis. Deviations beyond the upper reference range for the RDW indicator (> 14.5%) in this study were identified for patients of the following nosological groups according to ICD-10: C - neoplasms; D - blood diseases; S - injuries; T - poisoning. Significant intergroup differences were obtained according to the Kruskal-Wallis rank analysis of variance (Kruskal-Wallis test: H (19, n= 7622) = 214.9672 p = 0.0000). According to the results of this study, we can conclude that RDW has specificity for certain diseases (neoplasms; blood diseases; injuries; poisoning). In case of cardiovascular and other diseases, deviations of this indicator beyond the limits of the upper reference values were not found in this study.

<p>OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to determine whether it is possible to differentiate submucosal fibroids before interventional procedures based on mean platelet volume (MPV), in reproductive-age patients presenting with endometrial thickening and abnormal uterine bleeding.<br />STUDY DESIGN: This study included 581 reproductive-age women who underwent diagnostic procedures (curettage or operative hysteroscopy) and were subsequently divided into two groups based on clinico-pathological findings. The first group included those with benign endometrial pathology (control group, n=438), and the second group consisted of those with submucosal leiomyomas (n=143). The demographic characteristics and complete blood count (CBC) data of these patients were collected retrospectively, and comparisons were made between groups.<br />RESULTS: No statistically significant difference was found between the groups according to demographic features and CBC parameters such as hemoglobin levels and white blood count (p&gt;0,05). Platelet counts were significantly higher and MPV values were significantly lower in submucosal leiomyoma patients compared with the control subjects (p&lt;0,05).<br />CONCLUSIONS: MPV may be a useful predictive marker when differentiating submucosal leiomyoma from other benign causes of abnormal uterine bleeding. The ability to predict the possibility of the presence of submucosal leiomyoma before surgery can assist in determining the most appropriate type of invasive procedure.</p>

Acute appendicitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdominal diseases seen between the ages of 10 and 19, mostly seen in males. The lifetime risk of developing acute appendicitis is 8.6% for males and 6.7% for females. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of the complete blood count parameters, C-reactive protein, and Lymphocyte-C-reactive Protein Ratio laboratory tests in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis, as well as their relationship with appendix diameter. We retrospectively examined all patients who underwent appendectomy between 1 January 2012 and 30 June 2019 in the General Surgery Clinic of Gaziosmanpasa University Faculty of Medicine. Laboratory tests, imaging findings, age, and gender were recorded. Lymphoid hyperplasia is considered as normal appendix—in other words, as negative appendicitis. The distribution of Lymphoid hyperplasia and appendicitis rates were statistically different in the groups formed according to appendix diameter (≤6 and >6 mm) (p < 0.001). We found a significant correlation between appendix diameter and WBC (White blood count), Lymphocyte, Neutrophil, RDW(Red blood cell distribution width), NLR(Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio), and PLT/L (Platelet to lymphocyte ratio), MPV (Mean platelet volume) and RDW were significantly different in patients with an appendix diameter of ≤6 mm (p = 0.007, p = 0.006, respectively). WBC, Neutrophil, PDW, and NLR values were significantly different between appendicitis and hyperplasia groups in patients with an appendix diameter of >6 mm. The sensitivity of the NLR score (cutoff = 2.6057) in the diagnosis of appendicitis was 86.1% and selectivity was 50% in these patients. Complete blood count parameters evaluation with the clinical findings revealed that NLR is an important parameter that may help the diagnosis of acute appendicitis with an appendix diameter of >6 mm. In patients whose pathological results indicated acute appendicitis but who had a diameter of ≤6 mm, we found an elevated MPV and low RDW values.
