To investigate the clinical features and perinatal treatment of thrombocytopenia induced by different causes during pregnancy.Clinical data from 195 pregnant women with thrombocytopenia attending 2 tertiary hospitals from January 2014 to October 2016 were retrospectively studied. The obtained data were analyzed with SPSS 19.0 software.There were 117 (60.0%), 55 (28.2%), and 23 cases (11.8%) of pregnancy-associated thrombocytopenia (PAT), idiopathic thrombocytopenia (ITP), and hypertensive disorder in pregnancy (PIH), respectively. The percentage of nulliparous women, gestational age at delivery, date of diagnosis of thrombocytopenia, and delivery mode significantly differed between the patients in these 3 groups (P < .05). Patients with PIH had a higher percentage of premature delivery and of lower birth weight infants than patients in the other 2 groups. The 3 groups had similar incidences of postpartum hemorrhage, rates of stillbirth, and neonatal Apgar scores at 5 minutes. PAT and PIH patients had different platelet counts after delivery compared with at diagnosis, whereas the platelet counts of the ITP patients were similar at diagnosis and after delivery. ITP patients in the nontreatment group and the treatment group had significantly different platelet counts (P < .05), and in the treatment group, the maternal platelet count did not differ for treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) versus corticosteroids.The causes of thrombocytopenia in pregnancy are diverse, and the clinical features vary widely. Timely analysis is needed to determine the primary cause of thrombocytopenia, and appropriate therapy should then be selected to effectively improve the prognosis of pregnancies.
