👉Randomized Trial of #Platelet-Transfusion Thresholds in Neonates

📌Among preterm infants with severe #thrombocytopenia, those randomly assigned to receive platelet transfusions at a platelet-count threshold of 50,000 per cubic millimeter had a significantly higher rate of death or major bleeding within 28 days after randomization than those who received platelet #transfusions at a platelet-count threshold of 25,000 per cubic millimeter.
