Evaluation of the Relationship Between Preoperative and Postoperative Platelet Values and Amount of Blood Transfusion in Cases with Craniosinocytosis.

Aim: To demonstrate that decreased platelet count in patients with craniosynostosis increases the requirement for blood replacement, thus providing guidance to clinicians by revealing the time at which the platelet count decreases. Additionally, the relationship between the amount of blood transfusion and preoperative and postoperative platelet counts was evaluated.

Material And Methods: This study included 38 patients with craniosynostosis who underwent surgery between July 2017 and March 2019.
