AB  - OBJECTIVES: Nutritional deficiencies and use of antiepileptic drugs can lead to 
      alterations in the hematological status of children with cerebral palsy (CP), 
      which may increase the risk of intraoperative or postoperative hematological 
      complications. In this retrospective study, we evaluated the preoperative routine 
      blood tests of CP patients with different levels of walking ability, who were 
      scheduled to undergo orthopedic procedures. METHODS: Hemoglobin level, 
      hematocrit, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular 
      hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, red cell distribution 
      width, white blood cell count, platelet count, prothrombin time, activated 
      partial thromboplastin time, and plasma fibrinogen concentration were compared 
      between 62 consecutive CP patients [28 girls, 34 boys; mean age 8.8 years (range 
      2-16 years)] and 130 consecutive orthopedic patients as control [64 girls, 66 
      boys; mean age 9.2 years (range 2-16 years)] who did not have any skeletal, 
      cranial, thoracic, abdominal or major soft tissue injuries, or any other 
      infectious, metabolic, hematological or malignant tumor disorders. RESULTS: CP 
      and control groups were similar with regard to the above-mentioned hematological 
      parameters. In the CP group, no difference was found between Gross Motor Function 
      Classification System for Cerebral Palsy (GMFCS) level I/II patients and GMFCS 
      level III/IV patients in terms of these hematological parameters. CONCLUSION: 
      Preoperative blood tests results of pediatric CP patients, walking with or 
      without any supportive devices and undergoing orthopedic interventions, are 
      similar to those of other orthopedic patients. Advanced preoperative 
      hematological tests can only be recommended for CP patients with abnormal blood 
      test results.
