For example, a PI of 25,000 platelets/μL, a BSA of 1.8m 2 and a PD of 4x10 11 gives a CCI of 11,250 platelets*m 2 /10 11 μL At 1 hour post-transfusion a CCI greater than 7500 indicates a sufficient post-transfusion increment, whereas a CCI less than 7500 is considered diagnostic of platelet refractoriness.

Platelet count increase as well as platelet survival after transfusion is related to the dose of platelets infused and to the patient's body surface area (BSA). Usually these values are less than what would be expected. Corrected platelet count increment (CCI) = platelet increment at one hr x BSA (m 2) / # platelets infused x 10 11
The simplest method for correcting the reticulocyte count, to obtain a more accurate daily production index, is to divide the corrected count by a factor of 2 (or multiply with ½) whenever polychromasia (the presence of immature marrow reticulocytes or "shift" cells) is observed on the smear or the immature fraction on the automated counter is ...
In the fourth quarter of 2009, for example, one of four “management program goals” was for continuous care to average 17 patients a day. Managers said they received bonuses pegged to whether they met this and other patient count targets. The most difficult part of Maples’ experience to evaluate concerns her medication.
