Why the study?
Diagnosing platelet function defects is difficult due to heterogeneous bleeding tendencies, poor standardization, lacking quality control, and testing limited to specialized laboratories.

Platelet function testing in bleeding patients with normal coagulation warrants standardized protocols; leaves open optimal diagnostic algorithms for heterogeneous acquired defects.
Accurate diagnosis of platelet function disorders requires a multimodal approach including bleeding scores, microscopy, and functional assays, necessitating close collaboration between clinicians and specialized laboratories.
Wagner et al. (2022) studied this question.
