Data of the group comparisons
Statistically significantly higher BMI (p=0.0001), gravida (p=0.003) and parity (p=0.001) values were determined in the LGA group compared to the other groups. No significant difference was observed in respect of CBC variables, NLR and PLR.
Statistically significantly lower BMI (p=0.0001), gravida (p=0.0001) and parity (p=0.0001) values were determined in the SGA group compared to the other groups. The Hb value was observed to be statistically significantly higher than that of the other groups (p=0.0001). No significant difference was observed in respect of other variables, NLR and PLR. A statistically significantly higher rate of female infants was seen in the SGA group (p=0.007), and of male infants in the LGA group (p=0.007). Infant gender was not seen to have any effect on the hematological parameters.
The rate of SGA infants in this Turkish population was statistically significantly higher than in other ethnic groups (p=0.001).
