Mathematical Modeling to Predict the Duration of Thrombocytopenia in Neonates

Sponsor: Boston Children's Hospital

Summary

Parents of infants who have been thrombocytopenic for 3-4 days will be approached for consent to enter the study. For the purposes of the study, thrombocytopenia will be defined as a platelet count \<60,000/uL or a platelet count \<100,000/uL that prompted a platelet transfusion. Following enrollment, the platelet count will be followed in each infant. Participants will enter the study if on day 5 or later after the onset of thrombocytopenia (defined as above) infants either have a platelet count \<60,000/uL or a platelet count \<100,000/uL for which a platelet transfusion is ordered.
