Background: EDTA-induced pseudothrombocytopenia (PTCP) during whole blood collection requires significant laboratory resources to obtain accurate results. We evaluated platelet-deaggregation function in EDTA-induced PTCP and platelet-clump flagging by the BC-6800Plus hematology analyzer using integrated digital image analysis. Methods: We prospectively collected 132 whole blood samples suspected of platelet clumping (102 in EDTA and 30 in sodium citrate) from 88 individuals. We compared platelet counts determined using the platelet count by impedance (PLT-I) function of the DxH 900 hematology analyzer and the PLT-I or optical platelet count (PLT-O) function of the BC- 6800Plus. Platelet clumping was verified through manual inspection and the MC-80 digital image analyzer. Results: Among the 132 whole blood samples, 43 EDTA samples showed platelet clumping. The DxH 900 PLT-I and BC-6800Plus PLT-I results demonstrated a strong correlation (r=0.711) for the EDTA samples but only a moderate correlation with the BC-6800Plus PLT-O results (r=0.506 and 0.545, respectively). The BC-6800Plus PLT-O results were consistent with the sodium citrate platelet counts, with a median dissociation rate of 102.5% (range, 74.9%–123.1%). The DxH 900 and BC-6800Plus analyzers had sensitivity values of 0.79 and 0.72, respectively, for platelet-clump flagging. When integrating the MC-80 digital image analysis results, the sensitivity of BC-6800Plus improved to 0.89 (standard mode) or 1.0 (PLT-Pro mode). Conclusions: BC-6800Plus PLT-O measurement results are close to the actual values obtained by platelet deaggregation with PTCP samples. Integrating the BC-6800Plus with a digital imaging analyzer effectively improved the diagnosis of PTCP and reduced the requirement for additional laboratory procedures.
