Correlation of rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) parameters with platelet count and their ability to predict thrombocytopenia in dogs

In conclusion, PLT in dogs correlated moderately but significantly with all evaluated ROTEM parameters. All parameters were able to rule out thrombocytopenia <60 × 109/L with a high negative predictive value, while the sensitivity to predict thrombocytopenia was only moderate and the positive predictive value was low.
