Can we predict who will bleed?

Meybohm et al. Critical Care 2013, 17:218

N = 198, patients with platelet count < 80,000/mcl

To Conclude…• None of the assays or POCCs predict risk of bleeding with acceptable

reliability.

• Clinical prediction rules are guides only, not predictors..

• Big data analysis might predict risk of bleeding amongst a host of other potential complications
