Supports pilot external quality assessment for platelet electron microscopy; leaves open wider validation before routine adoption.
Platelet electron microscopy for dense-granule deficiency can be successfully assessed by external quality assessment programs.
Hayward et al. (2009) studied Platelet dense-granule deficiency (n=8). External quality assessment (EQA) survey was evaluated on Correct interpretation of findings for normal and dense-granule-deficient platelets. All 8 participating centers correctly interpreted whole-mount electron microscopy findings for normal and dense-granule-deficient platelets in a pilot external quality assessment survey.
