A PLASMIC score threshold of ≥5 is associated with high sensitivity and NPV and may be a useful screening tool for identifying patients who are unlikely to have TTP and do not require TPE, though prospective assessment is required. A PLASMIC score <6 appears to have insufficient sensitivity to rule out TTP and the need for TPE.
