متن کاملReproducibility of Manual Platelet Estimation Following Automated Low Platelet Counts.
OBJECTIVES Manual platelet estimation is one of the methods used when automated platelet estimates are very low. However, the reproducibility of manual platelet estimation has not been adequately studied. We sought to assess the reproducibility of manual platelet estimation following automated low platelet counts and to evaluate the impact of the level of experience of the person counting on th...
متن کاملWaiting for platelet counts causes unsubstantiated delay of thrombolysis therapy.
BACKGROUND Platelet counts (PCs) <100,000/µl are considered as a contraindication for intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). While US guidelines recommend IVT initiation before the availability of clotting tests, the guidelines of the European Stroke Organization give no such practical advice. We aimed to assess the incidence of thrombocytopenia in IVT patients, outcome after thrombolysis in affected ...
متن کاملPlatelet Counts and Platelet Activation Markers in Obese Subjects
OBJECTIVE In this work we studied the correlation between platelet count, platelet activation, and systemic inflammation in overweight, obese, and morbidly obese individuals. METHODS AND SUBJECTS A total of 6319 individuals participated in the study. Complete blood counts, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) serum levels, and body mass index (BMI) were measured during routine checkup...
متن کاملPlatelet counts and its course for predicting in-hospital mortality in intensive care unit
Background & Aims: Recent studies have shown that thrombocytopenia (TP) is associated with poor outcomes in patients with pneumonia, burns, and H1N1 influenza. The aim of this study is to determine the impact of platelet count trends and TP on mortality in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Materials & Methods: TP was defined as <150,000 platelets/ml. In this study, 300 patients who had been ...
