Introduction: Preeclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy leading to maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The etiopathogenesis still remains unsolved, however, various theories currently become well-proved. The leading etiopathogenetic mechanisms are impaired placentation, and placental hypoxia, immune mechanisms, systemic inflammatory reaction, endothelial damage and maternal cardiovascular maladaptation. These mechanisms overlap and induce each other. There are some preventive interventions only if the patients at high-risk are identified timely. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the inflammatory pathway and placental insufficiency in the first trimester, utilizing the clinical markers of both. It also aims to find out a cheap and easy test to identify those who absolutely need to undergo a comprehensive risk assessment.
Methods: This retrospective observational study included 28 patients with high uterine artery resistance (pulsatility index >90th centile) in the first trimester as study group and 67 patients with normal uterine artery resistance in the first trimester as control group. The two groups were compared in terms of risk factors for preeclampsia. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio as systemic inflammatory markers were compared between the groups. ROC analysis was performed to obtain a cut-off value for predicting high uterine artery pulsatility index.
Results: Demographic data, anamnestic and examination risk factors for preeclampsia did not differ between the groups. However, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio were significantly higher in the patients with uterine artery pulsatility index above 90th centile. A cut off value of 3.58 and 136.9 of Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and platelet/lymphocyte ratio, respectively were determined for predicting first trimester uterine artery pulsatility index above 90th centile.
Conclusions: Neutrophil/lymphocyte and platelet/lymphocyte ratio can simply be used to identify the patients who need referral for uterine artery doppler assessment.

Giriş: Preeklampsi, gebeliğin ciddi bir komplikasyonudur ve maternal ve perinatal morbidite ve mortalitenin önde gelen nedenlerindendir. Etiyopatogenez hala çözülememiştir, ancak çeşitli teoriler artık iyice kanıtlanmıştır. Başlıca etyopatogenetik mekanizmalar defektif plasentasyon, plasental hipoksi, immün mekanizmalar, sistemik inflamatuar reaksiyon, endotel hasarı ve annenin gebeliğe kardiyovasküler maladaptasyonudur. Bu mekanizmalar birbiriyle örtüşür ve birbirini tetikler. Yüksek riskli hastaların zamanında tespit edilmesi durumunda işe yarayabilecek bazı önleyici müdahaleler mevcuttur. Bu çalışma, her ikisinin de klinik belirteçlerini kullanarak, ilk trimesterde inflamatuar yolak ile plasental yetmezlik arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmayı amaçladı. Ayrıca kapsamlı bir risk değerlendirmesinden geçmesi gereken kişileri tespit etmek için ucuz ve kolay bir test bulmayı da amaçladı.
Yöntem: Bu retrospektif gözlemsel çalışmaya, ilk trimesterde uterin arter direnci yüksek (pulsatilite indeksi >90. persantil) olan 28 hasta çalışma grubu olarak ve ilk trimesterde uterin arter direnci normal olan 67 hasta kontrol grubu olarak dahil edildi. İki grup preeklampsi risk faktörleri açısından karşılaştırıldı. Sistemik inflamatuar belirteçlerden nötrofil/lenfosit oranı ve trombosit/lenfosit oranı gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldı. Yüksek uterin arter pulsatilite indeksini öngörmek için bir kesim değeri elde etmek amacıyla ROC analizi yapıldı.
Bulgular: Preeklampsiye ilişkin demografik veriler, anamnez ve muayeneye dayalı risk faktörleri gruplar arasında farklılık göstermedi. Ancak uterin arter pulsatilite indeksi 90. persantilin üzerinde olan hastalarda nötrofil/lenfosit oranı ve trombosit/lenfosit oranı anlamlı olarak yüksekti. Birinci trimester uterin arter pulsatilite indeksinin 90. persantilin üzerinde olduğunu predikte edebilecek nötrofil/lenfosit oranı ve trombosit/lenfosit oranının sırasıyla 3,58 ve 136,9 kesme değeri olduğu belirlendi.
Sonuç: Nötrofil/lenfosit ve trombosit/lenfosit oranı, uterin arter doppler değerlendirmesi için sevk edilmesi gereken hastaların belirlenmesinde basitçe kullanılabilir.
