Cochrane Review

One study was eligible for inclusion in the review. This study was stopped after recruiting only nine participants because it had taken three years to recruit the nine participants. The study had planned to recruit 60 participants in two years. No ongoing studies were found.
Background: In people with bone marrow disorders, bleeding can be a problem due to a low platelet count, or because the platelets do not work properly, or both. Platelet transfusions can be given when bleeding occurs in order to stop the bleeding, or before bleeding occurs in order to prevent it.

It is currently unclear if the best transfusion policy is to give platelet transfusions only when bleeding occurs or to give them to prevent bleeding.
Conclusion: No evidence is available to help decide whether giving platelet transfusions to treat bleeding is as good as giving platelet transfusions when the platelet count is below a prespecified level. There is an urgent need for good-quality studies to answer the questions of this review.
