Gestation-wise Reference Ranges of Neutrophil Counts in Indian Newborns

Blood counts are commonly performed tests in neonatal intensive care units with the results having various clinical ramifications. Interpreting blood counts as normal or abnormal requires reference ranges as per gestation. Studies on reference ranges for neonatal neutrophil counts are already scarce, and data is lacking in the Asian context. We sought to formulate gestation-wise reference ranges of neutrophil counts in an Indian setting
