The 4Ts is a pretest clinical scoring system for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT).
Although widely used in clinical practice, its predictive value for HIT in diverse settings and …

Background: The diagnosis of heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is challenging. Over‐
diagnosis and over‐treatment are common. Objectives: To develop a pre‐test clinical …

Rapid exclusion of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is needed to determine which
patients can continue to receive heparin. In this prospective management study, 526 …

Background: Heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a severe disease that is often
difficult to diagnose. A clinical scoring system, the '4Ts' score, has been proposed to …

Background: Heparin‐induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a prothrombotic adverse drug
reaction caused by heparin. As thrombocytopenia is common in hospitalized patients …

Immunoassays are essential in the workup of patients with suspected heparin-induced
thrombocytopenia. However, the diagnostic accuracy is uncertain with regard to different …

BACKGROUND: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is commonly considered but
rarely confirmed in critically ill patients. The 4Ts score (Thrombocytopenia, Timing of …

The platelet factor 4/heparin ELISA has limited specificity for heparininduced
thrombocytopenia (HIT) and frequently does not provide same-day results. Rapid …
