The study aimed to explore the complex relationship between various systemic inflammatory indices and birth weight

The research was structured as a prospective observational study. It was conducted at a second-level University Hospital over the period from December 2019 to February 2021.

Participants:

Blood samples were collected at hospital admission. These samples were used for a complete blood count, focusing specifically on deriving systemic inflammatory indices.

The primary inflammatory indices studied were Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR), Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR), and Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (MLR).

The birth weight was registered.

Inclusion Criteria:

• physiological Full-term pregnancies

Exclusion Criteria:

• gestational diabetes
• pregestational diabetes
• Chronic Hypertension
• Gestational Hypertension
• Preeclampsia
• Eclampsia
• Intrauterine Fetal Growth Restriction
• Preterm Delivery
• Multiple Pregnancies
• Fetal malformations

The study population comprised full-term pregnant women. These participants were likely to represent a diverse range of ages and backgrounds, typical of a general pregnant population at a second-level University Hospital.

Health Status: The women included were in generally good health, with full-term, uncomplicated pregnancies. This was ensured by the rigorous exclusion of any pregnancies affected by significant health issues such as diabetes, hypertension, and other specified conditions.
