From: Prognostic significance of early platelet dynamics in Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia
A, B Platelet trends over the first seven days of S. aureus bacteremia. Groups compared were: A Normal Platelet (NP) vs Mild Thrombocytopenia (Mild TC) vs Moderate-to-Severe Thrombocytopenia (MS TC); B Platelet trend for 4 groups based on platelet count on Day 1 and Day 4 and respective mortality rate (%): TC-TC (thrombocytopenia at both timepoints), 21.4%; TC-NP (Thrombocytopenia on Day 1 with recovery to normal platelet count on Day 4), 5.6%; NP-NP (normal platelet count entire course), 2.7%; NP-TC (normal platelet count on Day 1 but thrombocytopenia on Day 4), 16.3%
