Abstract

Given that platelets support the integrity of the alveolar-capillary membrane, it is conceivable that thrombocytopenia may be associated with development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Yet, clinical studies confirming such an association are limited. We endeavoured to examine whether thrombocytopenia is independently associated with development of ARDS in critically ill patients.
