IntroductionSome patients with thrombocytopenia may be at risk of bleeding although quantitative platelet count is not always a sufficient predictive factor. Global coagulation assays such as thromboelastography (TEG((R))), calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT) and overall haemostatic potential (OHP) may provide a better assessment of an individual's haemostatic profile.MethodsBlood samples were collected from thrombocytopenic patients. TEG((R)) was performed on citrated whole blood, while CAT and OHP were performed on platelet-poor plasma. Results were compared to our previously collected normal controls.ResultsFifty-eight participants (24 immune thrombocytopenia, 34 chemotherapy/malignancy-related) with mean age of 57.5years were recruited. Compared to normal controls, thrombocytopenic participants had comparable maximum amplitude but reduced clot lysis (0.0% vs 0.6%; P
