Can we predict who will bleed?
Meybohm et al. Critical Care 2013, 17:218
N = 198, patients with platelet count < 80,000/mcl
To Conclude…• None of the assays or POCCs predict risk of bleeding with acceptable
reliability.
• Clinical prediction rules are guides only, not predictors..
• Big data analysis might predict risk of bleeding amongst a host of other potential complications
