Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The randomized groups will be studied for number of bleeding events and the grade of bleeding events according to WHO bleeding criteria.Timepoint: Serial platelet count monitoring will be done at least twice a week and the number of bleeding events will be noted daily until the platelet count increases above 20000 at time points of 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks until the intervention is stopped during the period of hospitalization, whichever is earlier.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
No of blood components (packed red cells and Platelet rich concentrate) transfusionsTimepoint: At the time of discharge
