HELLP (Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelets) syndrome is a dangerous obstetric condition that is in great need of simple and inexpensive non-invasive early predictors, but it has been poorly studied. This study was conducted to investigate the predictive role of serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase to platelet ratio (GPR) during pregnancy in HELLP syndrome and its adverse pregnancy outcomes.
This was a retrospective study in a tertiary hospital. One hundred parturients were allocated into two groups: HELLP group (n = 50) and control group (n = 50).
① In the HELLP group, the maternal GPR levels showed a continuous upward trend from middle pregnancy to before-delivery, with significantly higher values observed in late pregnancy and before-delivery compared to the control group (P < 0.05). ② A comparison was made between the counts of platelets (PLT), plasma fibrinogen (FIB), alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), uric acid (UA), γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and GPR in two groups of the pregnant women during their late pregnancy and before-delivery to the hospital, all of which showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). ③Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher GPR, ALT, and UA were independent risk factors for the development of HELLP syndrome (OR = 23.382, 1.169,1.016, P < 0.05), while higher FIB was a protective factor (OR = 0.057, P < 0.05). ④ Spearman correlation analysis indicated that the abnormal elevation of GPR in late pregnancy and before-delivery was correlated with preterm birth (r = 0.510, 0.450, P < 0.05). ⑤ROC curve analysis revealed that the predictive efficacy of GPR in late pregnancy (AUC = 0.8441) was higher than AST (AUC = 0.7960), ALT (AUC = 0.7952), and PLT (AUC = 0.7691) in late pregnancy, with an AUC of 0.8656 for GPR before delivery When GPR values were 0.22 and 0.27 in late pregnancy and before-delivery, the sensitivity for predicting HELLP syndrome was 77.6% and 78%, and the specificity was 85% and 90%.
The abnormal increase of GPR during pregnancy has a certain predictive effect on HELLP syndrome and its adverse pregnancy outcomes.
HELLP(溶血、肝酶升高和血小板减少)综合征是一种危险的产科疾病,迫切需要简单且廉价的非侵入性早期预测指标,但对此研究较少。本研究旨在探讨孕期血清γ-谷氨酰转肽酶与血小板比值(GPR)对HELLP综合征及其不良妊娠结局的预测作用。
这是一项在三级医院开展的回顾性研究。100例产妇被分为两组:HELLP组(n = 50)和对照组(n = 50)。
①在HELLP组中,孕妇GPR水平从孕中期到分娩前呈持续上升趋势,孕晚期和分娩前的值显著高于对照组(P < 0.05)。②对两组孕妇孕晚期及入院分娩前的血小板(PLT)计数、血浆纤维蛋白原(FIB)、谷丙转氨酶(ALT)、谷草转氨酶(AST)、尿酸(UA)、γ-谷氨酰转肽酶(GGT)和GPR进行比较,差异均有统计学意义(P < 0.05)。③多因素logistic回归分析显示,较高的GPR、ALT和UA是发生HELLP综合征的独立危险因素(OR = 23.382、1.169、1.016,P < 0.05),而较高的FIB是保护因素(OR = 0.057,P < 0.05)。④Spearman相关性分析表明,孕晚期和分娩前GPR异常升高与早产相关(r = 0.510、0.450,P < 0.05)。⑤ROC曲线分析显示,孕晚期GPR的预测效能(AUC = 0.8441)高于孕晚期的AST(AUC = 0.7960)、ALT(AUC = 0.7952)和PLT(AUC = 0.7691),分娩前GPR的AUC为0.8656。当孕晚期和分娩前GPR值分别为0.22和0.27时,预测HELLP综合征的敏感度分别为77.6%和78%,特异度分别为85%和90%。
孕期GPR异常升高对HELLP综合征及其不良妊娠结局有一定的预测作用。
