Is post-transplant day + 14 immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF) a reliable surrogate marker for predicting early platelet engraftment in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant?

Is post-transplant day + 14 immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF) a reliable surrogate marker for predicting early platelet engraftment in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant?

Abstract Background Prophylactic platelet transfusion is given to patients when the platelet count is less than ten thousand to prevent clinically significant bleeding till platelet engraftment is documented. Despite a very low platelet count, if platelet engraftment is confidently predicted, then p...
