Abstract :

Neonatal thrombocytopenia is the most common hematological disorder. Several studies have shown that babies born to mothers of preeclampsia can cause neonatal thrombocytopenia. Early detection to identify changes in platelet newborns can be the basis of early management in reducing newborn morbidity and mortality. A diagnostics study with cross-sectional study of newborns according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of preeclamptic and normal mothers was conducted at General Hospital Center Haji Adam Malik and University Sumatera Utara Hospital. Sampling uses total sampling between December 2018 until Feuary 2019 among 84 infants with 15 babies were born to preeclamptic mothers and 64 babies were born to normal mothers. The cord blood sample is taken when the baby is born and then the platelet count is assessed. Data analysis used the chi square test (p <0.05). There is a significant relationship between the number of platelets of newborns and preeclampsia (p = 0.005) with a prevalence ratio (PR) of 0.80
