TI  - COMPARISON OF HEMOGRAM PARAMETERS OF ACUTE APPENDICİTIS WITH THOSE IN A PREVIOUS PRENATAL VISIT IN PREGNANT WOMEN
AB  - Introduction: Acute appendicitis (AA) is the most common non-obstetric condition which requires surgical intervention during pregnancy. The ai m of the present study is to compare hemogram parameters of AA with those in a previous prenatal visit. Material and Methods: The study included 32 patients with a final pathological confirmation of AA who underwent an open appendectomy between March 2015 and August 2019. Hemogram parameters at the time of diagnosis of AA were compared with those at the time of a previous prenatal visit. Results: The median age was 25 (range, 18-40) years. T he mean white blood cell (WBC), mean neutrophil count, median neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and median platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were significantly higher in AA compared to the prenatal visit (all p<0.05). The mean lymphocyte count was significantly lower in AA (p=0.007). Conclusion: This is the first study in which hemogram parameters at the time of diagnosis of AA and during a previous prenatal visit were compared in the same pregnant patient group at diagnosis of AA. We believe that significantly increased mean WBC, neutrophil count, median NLR, median PLR and decreased mean lymphocyte count compared to the previous prenatal visit may be useful in the diagnosis of AA in pregnant women.
