Background/aim: To determine whether there is an association between platelet counts and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) incidence and/or closure in preterm newborns.Study design and subjects: Premature infants with hemodynamically significant PDA (n=154) and a control group without PDA (n=207) who were hospitalized in the NICU were retrospectively evaluated. Platelet counts and other platelet indices including mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) of the infants in both groups during the first 3 days of life were recorded. Ibuprofen was started in infants with hemodynamically significant PDA and echocardiography was repeated 48 h thereafter to assess the closure of ductus.Results: Median gestational age and birth weight of the infants with PDA were 28 (range 26-29) weeks and 1060 (range 892-1250) g respectively. Platelet counts were significantly lower in the patient group than in the control group (p
