Cross-sectional study establishes normative values for platelet count and indices in neonates, indicating critical benchmarks for hematological assessment.
Key Points
This study found a mean total platelet count of 243,059.3 ± 90,741.3 per mm³ in neonates.
The mean platelet volume (MPV) was 9.5 ± 1.4 fL, contributing vital insight into neonatal platelet indices.
Analysis employed a cross-sectional observational study methodology to collect data on neonatal platelet parameters.
These normative reference values support effective clinical assessments of hematological health in neonates.
