    Pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP) is a common artifact in hematology that can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary interventions.

  • 2

    The study evaluated a 1:7 pre-dilution technique combined with optical and fluorescent platelet counting to correct PTCP.

  • 3

    Pre-dilution significantly improved anti-interference, achieving a 95.24% aggregation interference rejection rate.

  • 4

    Conventional platelet counting methods showed significant negative bias, while pre-diluted methods eliminated bias and improved accuracy.

  • 5

    The study suggests that pre-dilution with optical counting may enhance platelet count reliability and reduce diagnostic errors.
