Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Antenatal Women With Pre-eclampsia: A Case-Control Study.

Background Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a disorder characterized by hypertension that may occur in a pregnant woman who was normotensive earlier. One of the major factors responsible consists of the inflammatory system being activated with cytokines and chemokines. The normal range of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) varies from 1 to 3 and 90 to 210, respectively.

Risk Factors Associated With Intrauterine Growth Restriction: A Case-Control Study.

Background Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a disorder in which the fetus fails to reach its genetic development potential and is considered to be present when the weight at birth is less than the 10th percentile; as a result, it is at risk of increased postnatal morbidity and mortality. Every year, approximately 24% of newborns worldwide are determined to have IUGR. The objective of the present study was to identify various sociodemographic, medical, and obstetric risk factors associated with IUGR.
