Clinical analysis of bleeding and thrombotic events in haematological-oncology patients with severe thrombocytopenia and a high risk of thrombosis

Background: Haematological patients with severe thrombocytopenia and high thrombotic risk face challenges related to balancing bleeding and thrombosis risks. This study investigated factors associated with bleeding and thrombosis in high-risk haematological oncology patients with severe thrombocytopenia not receiving anticoagulant therapy and characterized their clinical features when both events occurred. Methods: A total of 446 haematological oncology patients with Caprini scores ≥ 5 were included from July 2022 to June 2023 at Mianyang City Central Hospital.
