“Current guidelines recommend⟳ a threshold of 10 × 10 9 /L for prophylactic platelet transfusion and as suitable in patients without additional risk⟳ factors (eg, sepsis, concurrent use⟳ of antibiotics, and other abnormalities of hemostasis). 21, 22 In a trial investigating the efficacy and safety of therapeutic versus prophylactic platelet transfusion to prevent⟳ bleeding in patients with hypoproliferative thrombocytopenia, the authors recommended that in patients with acute myeloid leukemia prophylactic platelet administration should remain⟳ the standard of care. 23 A similar threshold of 10 × 10 9 /L was recommended by the American Society of Clinical Oncology in their clinical practice guidelines for platelet transfusion in patients with cancer. 1 This recommendation was made for adult patients receiving therapy for acute leukemia, and patients with solid tumors during chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia.”
