Mature and immature platelets during the first week after birth and incidence of patent ductus arteriosus

Thrombocytopenia is a risk factor for patent ductus arteriosus. Immature and mature platelets exhibit distinct haemostatic properties; however, whether platelet maturity plays a role in postnatal, ductus arteriosus closure is unknown. In this observational study, counts of immature and mature platel...

Description
Summary:Thrombocytopenia is a risk factor for patent ductus arteriosus. Immature and mature platelets exhibit distinct haemostatic properties; however, whether platelet maturity plays a role in postnatal, ductus arteriosus closure is unknown. In this observational study, counts of immature and mature platelets (=total platelet count - immature platelet count) were assessed on days 1, 3, and 7 of life in very low birth weight infants (
