As compared to the administration of HDPs, the administration of LDPs for prophylactic transfusion in hematopoietic progenitor cell transplant patients results in a lower platelet count increment, a lower likelihood of obtaining a posttransfusion platelet increment >20,000 per microL, a shorter transfusion-free interval, and a greater relative risk per day of requiring additional transfusions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
