These data suggest that additional correction of elevated WBC counts is mandatory in patients with optimally managed PLT counts to reduce thrombotic risk. This study is the first investigation in a prospectively observed large patient cohort which was treated homogenously allowing for evaluation of single parameters for an effect on thrombophilia.
