A cost‐effectiveness evaluation of platelet crossmatching and HLA matching in the management of alloimmunized thrombocytopenic patients
Abstract
Effective platelet support for alloimmunized refractory thrombocytopenic patients may be provided by several potential strategies, the most common being HLA-matched single-donor platelets or crossmatch-compatible, pooled random- or single-donor platelets. This study used a detailed economic analysis to compare the cost-effectiveness of several techniques for platelet crossmatching and that of HLA-matched single-donor platelets. The crossmatch …
