Abstract:
This was a case control study, conducted in West Kordofan State at Elnihood City during the period from April to July 2016, which aimed to determine CBC of two hundred and nine (209) healthy Sudanese pregnant women at all trimesters (case) and one hundred and one (101) non pregnant women (control).Subjectswere verbally consented and approved to participate.
Two and half ml of venous blood was collected in EDTA anticoagulated container. Automated hematological analyzer (Urit3010) was used; the results were analyzed by independent T test and one-way ANOVA test using SPSS computer program (version 16).
Age group (20 -35) years was most frequent in both pregnant and non pregnant women(44%,51.5%) respectively, while age group(>35) years was leastfrequent in both study subjects (27%,16.8%) respectively. Grand multigravidae (46.4%) was the highest frequent variable, followed by multigravidae (33%) and primgravidaewas lowest one (20%).
Regard to trimesters third trimester represented most abundant (52%),compared with second trimester (27%)and first one (20%).
One third of pregnant women had history of abortion and most of them received iron supplement (56%).
The studied showed significantstatistical difference of WBCs, RBCs, Hb, HCT, Platelets, Granulocytes and Lymphocytes levels between study group (P=.000)for all exceptplatelets(p=.006).
There was no significant statistical differencebetween age, abortion and gravidity and WBCs, RBCs, Hb, HCT and platelets.
There was observational differenceWBCs levelsbetween the trimesters.
RBCs, Hb, HCT and platelet showed statistical significant correlation in first trimester compared to others, observational correlation of these parameters in pregnant women at third trimester compared to those at second.
