[Image: AABB Recommends prophylactic platelet transfusion at a platelet count below 10,000/microliter for those with treatment-induced thrombocytopenia]

Fill in the Blanks:

Q: AABB recommends that those with treatment-related thrombocytopenia receive a dose of platelets when the patient's count drops below [...].
A: 10,000/10/10000
Q: A single "standard" dose of apheresis-derived platelets contains at least [...] x 10^11 platelets.
A: 3.0/3

Q: True or False: A "high-dose" unit of apheresis-derived platelets is more likely to prevent bleeding in a patient with treatment-related thrombocytopenia than a "low-dose" unit.
A: false
If right: Right! The PLADO Study showed that there is no significant difference between "low-dose," "standard-dose," and "high-dose" platelets in bleeding prevention.
If wrong: Sorry, that's a false statement. The PLADO Study showed that there is no significant difference between "low-dose," "standard-dose," and "high-dose" platelets in bleeding prevention.
