Background: Hematological reference intervals are used for medical decision tools for interpretation of numerical test results. Establishing of hematological interval among newborn babies is very important for the diagnosis of malignancy, anemia, bleeding disorders, and various infections. There is no locally established hematological reference intervals in Ethiopia. Thus the aim of this study is to established locally determined hematological reference interval among full-term newborn babies.
Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from February to May 2019 among 151 apparently healthy full-term newborn babies at Gondar University Hospital. About 3ml of cord blood was obtained for analysis of Hematological parameters and determined by using Sysmex KX-21N (Sysmex Corporation Kobe, Japan) automated analyzer. Median, 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles were computed.
Result: Males to female’s ratio was almost equal. All hematological parameter had no statistically significant difference between males and females. The delivery types were not influenced its hematological values.
Conclusion: Hematological reference interval was established from full-term newborn babies at University of Gondar hospital and was different from other studies in African and Europeans. Therefore, own determined reference value is very important for the clinicians to correctly diagnosis the patients at health facility levels.
