Effects of time, anticoagulant and detection channel on platelet count in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia [PDF]
Background EDTA-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia (EDTA-PTCP) is an in vitro phenomenon that may lead to expensive, time-consuming, and invasive diagnostic procedures as well as unnecessary patient treatment.

Prevalence, Risk Factors, Characteristics, and Clinical Outcomes of Thrombocytopenia in the Intensive Care Unit: A Prospective Single-Center Cohort Study. [PDF]
Background Thrombocytopenia is a common hematologic abnormality in the intensive care unit (ICU), affecting approximately 50% of patients. It is associated with increased mortality and bleeding risk. Despite its clinical significance, epidemiological studies on ICU‐related thrombocytopenia in Gulf Cooperation Council countries remain limited.

Evaluating the "PLT Clumps?" Flag Originating From Different Channels of the Sysmex XN Haematology Analyser: A Method for Rapidly Distinguishing Between Two Preanalytical Factors Affecting PLT Counting for Cancer Patients. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background This study investigated the accuracy of the “PLT Clumps?” flag triggered by different channels on the Sysmex XN haematology analyser in identifying two sample states and to optimize the platelet review strategy for cancer patients. Methods 570 samples flagged “PLT Clumps?” in CBC + DIFF mode were analysed.

Tirofiban-Associated Profound Thrombocytopenia in a Patient With Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Case Report. [PDF]
Background Profound thrombocytopenia after tirofiban exposure during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is rare but clinically important. Causal attribution may be challenging when unfractionated heparin is coadministered, and the relevance of glucose‐6‐phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency remains uncertain.

Platelet Satellitism: A Unique Cause of Pseudothrombocytopenia [PDF]
Platelet satellitism is an unusual cause of pseudothrombocytopenia. In 1963, Macleod and Field first reported this phenomenon [1]. It is a rare in vitro occurrence observed in the blood that is collected in Ethylene Diamine Tetra acetic Acid (EDTA ...
