A box plot of number of days with bleeding on the ordinate is shown for 46 adult patients with acute leukemia undergoing induction therapy receiving ABO nonidentical platelet transfusions vs 67 receiving ABO identical platelet transfusions during 1985–1995 (five patients had missing data). The mean number of days with bleeding of any sort in the group receiving ABO nonidentical platelet transfusions was 2.3plusminus5.5 (1 s.d.) as compared with 0.75plusminus1.7 in the ABO identical group (P=0.034 by unpaired t test).
