Abstract

Platelet count in 38 paired maternal venous and umbilical venous specimens were determined at delivery. Umbilical values were significantly higher than simultaneous maternal values (p = 0.004), and a significant relationship was demonstrated between umbilical values and maternal values (r = 0.54, p = 0.0004). Associations between platelet counts and acid-base variables were found to be insignificant in the mother and the umbilical cord.
