Diagnosis of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia: Development and Validation of a Predictive Clinical Score Based on Objective Features Identified by a …

Background: Diagnosis of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is based on a composite of clinical likelihood and laboratory testing. We aimed to develop a diagnostic score derived from multivariate analysis of clinical features, including platelet count changes, prospectively recorded in patients with suspected HIT.
