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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Advances in Platelet Counting

Hematology, 2001
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 ...
