This study was done to evaluate the frequency of platelet crossmatch positivity among Paediatric Oncohaematology patients and also to assess whether a positive crossmatch is predictive of unsuccessful platelet transfusions in this group of patients.

- Caucasian women have a higher diagnosis rate of endometrial cancer, but African American women face a higher mortality rate, prompting an investigation into the impact of treatment delays related to race and socioeconomic factors.
- A study reviewed medical records of 889 endometrial cancer patients, finding significant differences in the time from diagnosis to treatment based on race and insurance status, with African American patients experiencing longer delays.
- The analysis showed that longer intervals between diagnosis and treatment correlated with an increased risk of death, emphasizing the need for addressing disparities in healthcare access and timely treatment.
