Disease burden, complication rates, and health-care costs of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in the USA: a population-based study.
The Lancet. Haematology 20180501 5
<h4>Background</h4>Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia can be a life-threatening and limb-threatening complication of heparin therapy. Incidence and complication rates of this condition have been extrapolated from studies with modest sample sizes, and despite the availability of therapeutic interventions the outcomes of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia are not well understood. We aimed to estimate disease burden, complication rates, and costs of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia in the USA.<h4>Metho ...[more]
