Higher platelet transfusion thresholds have been used in premature neonates, but this has been based on limited evidence. [19] There is now evidence that using a high platelet count threshold (50 x 10 9 /L) increases the risk of death or bleeding compared to a lower platelet count threshold (25 x 10 9 /L) in premature neonates.
