Why the study?
Is postoperative thrombocytopenia associated with an increased risk of stroke in adult patients undergoing on-pump CABG surgery?
Is postoperative thrombocytopenia associated with an increased risk of stroke in adult patients undergoing on-pump CABG surgery?
Moderate to severe postoperative thrombocytopenia is independently associated with an increased risk of delayed stroke after on-pump CABG surgery.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Low postoperative platelet counts may flag higher stroke risk after CABG; leaves open whether monitoring or intervention improves outcomes.
Karhausen et al. (2017) studied this question.
