To determine the hematologic profile of preterm infants with regard to different diseases. Methods. A prospective, cross-sectional, observational study, conducted in 5 hospitals in Ethiopia from July 2016 to May 2018. Preterm babies &lt;7\u2009days of age were included and investigated with complete blood counts (CBC) and other investigations, accordingly. Results. Out of 4919 preterms, 3852 (78.3%) were admitted to a newborn intensive care unit, and of these, 68.3% had a CBC performed. The mean values of hemoglobin, white blood cell (WBC) and platelet counts were 17.9\u2009mg\/dL; 12\u2009685\u2009cells\/mm\n                    <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                    , and 159\u2009340\u2009cells\/mm\n                    <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                    , respectively. Early onset neonatal sepsis (EONS) 1433 (37%), asphyxia 266 (6.9%), and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) 1738 (45.3%) were common reasons for admission. The WBC count was &lt;5000\u2009cells\/mm\n                    <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                    for 8.8%, 9.0%, and 11.1% of neonates with EONS, asphyxia and RDS, respectively. The hemoglobin value was &lt;7\u2009mg\/dL for 0.6%, 1.7%, and 0.4% of preterm infants with EONS, asphyxia, and RDS, respectively. The platelet count was &lt;50\u2009000\u2009cells\/mm\n                    <jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>\n                    for 16.8%, 17.7%, and 19.8% of preterms admitted with a diagnosis of EONS, asphyxia, and RDS, respectively. Conclusion. WBC and platelet counts were the most common to be associated with EONS, asphyxia, and RDS. Further study is recommended to determine the effect of abnormal hematologic profile on the outcome of preterm babies.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/2333794x20960264","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,28]],"date-time":"2020-09-28T03:13:44Z","timestamp":1601262824000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Hematologic Profiles of Ethiopian Preterm Infants With Clinical Diagnoses of Early-Onset Sepsis, Perinatal Asphyxia, and Respiratory Distress Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Zemene","family":"Tigabu Kebede","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yohannes Hailu","family":"Matebe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Abayneh Girma","family":"Demisse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3089-2567","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mulugeta Ayalew","family":"Yimer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Gondar, Gondar, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amha","family":"Mekasha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alemayehu","family":"Worku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Asrat","family":"Demtse Gebremedhin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth M.","family":"McClure","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"RTI International, Durham, NC, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Assaye K.","family":"Nigussie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Seattle, WA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bogale","family":"Worku","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ethiopian Pediatric Society, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7213-8178","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Netsanet Workneh","family":"Gidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Paul\u2019s Hospital Millennium Medical College, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gesit","family":"Metaferia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jimma University, Jimma, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert L.","family":"Goldenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Columbia University, New York, NY, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2776-9923","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lulu M.","family":"Muhe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-2333794X20960264","unstructured":"de Alarcon PA, Werner EJ, Naiman JL.
