Study Description

Brief Summary: Development of palliative care is less effective for patients with hematologic malignancies. Limited data is available for end of life care in this population, moreover with thrombocytopenic patients. Thrombopenia is a frequent complication, specific of bone marrow involvement in those diseases or its treatments. Yet, a few studies was interested in, whereas platelet transfusion is the only treatment indicated. As it represent a scarce, limited resource, the ethical principles are in conflict in this setting. The purpose of this study was to describe retrospectively platelet transfusion in the six last few month of life of patients with hematologic malignancies at the CHU of Besançon (France) between 01/07/15 and 31/12/16.
