2.4 The MONET study The MONET study is a retrospective, multicenter, observational cohort study that assesses risk factors for neonatal bleeding in thrombocytopenic preterm neonates. This population is chosen because these are the neonates that are currently being treated with prophylactic thrombocyte transfusions. The results of this study will allow us to identify neonates within this population that are at high risk of bleeding. These neonates may potentially benefit from different treatment strategies. Also, modifiable risk factors can be further explored as potential targets for preventing neonatal bleeding.
