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 ...

Platelet count measured prior to cancer development is a risk factor for future symptomatic venous thromboembolism: the Tromsø Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
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.

Pretreatment platelet count predicts survival outcome of patients with de novo non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
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 ...

Lusutrombopag is effective and safe in patients with chronic liver disease and severe thrombocytopenia: a multicenter retrospective study

BMC Gastroenterology, 2020
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.

The interaction between preoperative platelet count and function and its relationship with postoperative bleeding in cardiac surgery

Platelets, 2017
Platelet function tests (PFTs) before cardiac surgery are predictive of postoperative bleeding and can guide a correct timing of surgery in patients under P2Y12 inhibitors. Thrombocytopenia affects PFT and may determine postoperative bleeding.

Low Platelet Count Predicts Reduced Survival in Potentially Resectable Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Current Oncology, 2022
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.
