comparison of prediction potential of blood cell subtype ratios nlr and plr with existing potential predictors beta hcg and pregnancy associated plasma protein a papp a in preeclampsia

Abstract

To correlate the association between simple complete blood newlinecount parameters (CBC) and the occurrence of preeclampsia, newlinethereby enabling early prediction and management of the condition. newlineOBJECTIVES: newline1. To compare the prediction potential of blood cell subtype ratios newline(NLR and PLR) with the existing potential predictors beta HCG newlineand pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A). newline2. To determine the specificity, sensitivity, positive and negative newlinepredictive values for NLR and PLR as first trimester tests for newlineprediction of preeclampsia. newline
