Improving Clinical Interpretation of the Anti-Platelet Factor 4/Heparin Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for the Diagnosis of Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia Through the Use of Receiver Operating Characteristic Analysis, Stratum-Specific Likelihood Rati

Diagnostic accuracy of the anti-PF4/H ELISA can be optimized by using a higher cutoff and a stratified interpretation of the results. Our algorithm should significantly reduce overdiagnosis of HIT and the need for SRA testing.
