Thrombocytosis are conditions frequently encountered in hospitals. This study aims to describe the factors associated with thrombocytosis in hospital patients and out patients.

Cases are represented by patients who had thrombocytosis in complete blood count. Controls had no thrombocytosis in complete blood count and were matched with cases each day of laboratory analysis. In this study, thrombocytosis decreases with age. Subjects older than 60 years are the least affected (OR, 0.16, 95% CI, 0.05-0.49). Women are less affected than men (OR = 0.89, 95% CI, 0.05-1.59). Thrombocytosis is often discovered accidentally during a health check (OR = 4.78, 95% CI, 1.76-13.21) and frequently affects outpatients. The cases present more abnormalities of blood cells than the controls. These abnormalities are mainly represented by anemia (OR=...
