Background: Neonatal thrombocytopenia is defined as a platelet count <150,000/μL can be mild, moderate, or severe thrombocytopenia. The platelet production in neonates begins early at 5 weeks of gestation and reaches the adults count by 24-28 weeks. The platelet disorders are due to impaired platelet production or increased platelet destruction and sequestration. The onset of neonatal thrombocytopenia occurs within 72 h and late onset develops the risk of intraventricular hemorrhage. Hence, the knowledge regarding the incidence and occurrence is vital. Aims and Objectives: The present study aims to study the prevalence of neonatal thrombocytopenia in India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was designed, A total of 3250 neonates were assessed for the prevalence of neonatal thrombocytopenia using non-probability convenient sampling technique studies at various cities such as Lucknow, Panipat, Sonipat, Gohana, and Delhi. The data relating to levels of platelets were assessed for all the samples. Results: The present study revealed that the prevalence rate of neonatal thrombocytopenia was 3.4% at various cities in India. Conclusion: The present study assessed the prevalence of neonatal thrombocytopenia this determines the early intervention and prevention of the complication in relation to neonatal thrombocytopenia.
