Validating 4Ts for Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT)

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia

In brief

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a scoring tool to help determine the presence of Heparin Induced Thrombocytopenia (HIT), which is an adverse reaction to heparin. We hypothesize that this scoring tool will be very useful in excluding patients who are suspected of having HIT.
