The effect of hematocrit on visual platelet estimation.
Estimation of the number of platelets on Wright's-stained blood smear and from phase platelet counts on more than 1700 patients were analyzed to determine if there were statistical significance in various ranges of hematocrit values. F-test analysis showed no significant difference among these variations in hematocrit determinations.
