Objective: To investigate the relationship between 5-minute Apgar scores of newborns checked in cases induced due to prolonged pregnancy and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) platelet-lymphocyte (PLR), contributions these parameters as prognostic markers low scores. Methods: A total 169 primigravida for which delivery by induction was decided after they completed 41 weeks gestation 2017 2018 were included study. The detailed previous histories all obtained at admission underwent cervicovaginal examination, obstetric ultrasonography assessment fetal biometry amniotic fluid, complete blood count including hemoglobin level, white cell count, differential leukocyte number platelet count. NLR PLR calculated neutrophil lymphocyte number, respectively. newborn determined according usual criteria 1 5 minutes birth. independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test chi-square used analysis data. Results: mean values 4.8±2.8 148.8±74.9, While 108 (64%) patients delivered vaginally, 61 (36%) cesarean section. score >7 142 (84%) <7 27 (16%) patients. significantly higher group with than ≥7 (p<0.05). Conclusion: elevations is part a health pregnancy; however, excessively elevated inflammation has been associated poor prenatal developmental outcomes various populations. In conclusion, can be helping clinicians predict outcomes.
