Platelet Counts during Pregnancy [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2018
(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 ...

Age- and sex-related variations in platelet count in Italy: a proposal of reference ranges based on 40987 subjects' data [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Although several studies demonstrated that platelet count is higher in women, decreases with age, and is influenced by genetic background, most clinical laboratories still use the reference interval 150-400×10(9) platelets/L ...
