Advances in Platelet Counting [PDF]
Accurate and reliable platelet counting is critical for the clinical management of platelet disorders, especially in thrombocytopenia. The platelet count is used to determine if the patient requires a platelet transfusion. As the prophylactic transfusion trigger is now set anywhere between 10-20 × 10(9)/L (depending upon the institution) it is ...

Platelet Counts during Pregnancy [PDF]
(N Engl J Med. 2018;379:32–43) In the present study, the authors evaluated platelet counts in women (15 to 44 y of age) who delivered at the Oklahoma University Medical Center between 2011 and 2014. Their objectives were to (1) evaluate the potential severity of gestational thrombocytopenia (<150,000 platelets/mm3 at the time of delivery ...

Platelet count measured prior to cancer development is a risk factor for future symptomatic venous thromboembolism: the Tromsø Study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Elevated platelet count is associated with risk of venous thromboembolism in cancer patients initiating chemotherapy. It is not known whether this risk by platelet count is causal or merely reflects the malignant disease.

Low Platelet Count Predicts Reduced Survival in Potentially Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma
The prognostic role of platelet count in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear, and in fact both thrombocytopenia and thrombocytosis are reported as predictors of unfavourable outcomes.

Pretreatment platelet count predicts survival outcome of patients with de novo non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Background Pretreatment platelet count has been reported as a potential tool to predict survival outcome in several solid tumors. However, the predictive value of pretreatment platelet count remains obscure in de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML ...

Background Chronic liver disease (CLD) is often complicated by severe thrombocytopenia (platelet count 50,000/µL at baseline: the proportions of patients who did not require platelet transfusion were 84–96%, which might be overestimated.
