    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: The platelet fluorescent counting (PLT-F) method is utilized as a reflex test method following the initial test of the platelet impedance counting (PLT-I) method in clinical practice on the Sysmex XN-series automated hematology analyzer. Our aim is to establish reflex test rules for the PLT-F method by combining multiple parameters provided by the "CBC + DIFF" mode of the Sysmex XN-series automated hematology analyzer. METHODS: We tested 120 samples to evaluate the baseline bias between the PLT-F and PLT-I methods. Then, we selected 1256 samples to establish and test reflex test rules using seven machine learning models (decision Tree, random forest, neural network, logistic regression, k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine, and Naive Bayes). The training set and test set were divided at a ratio of 7:3. We evaluated the performance of machine learning models on the test set using various metrics to select the most valuable model. RESULTS: The PLT-F method exhibited a high degree of correlation with the PLT-I method (r = 0.998). The random forest model emerged as the most valuable, boasting an accuracy of 0.893, an area under the curve of 0.954, an F1 score of 0.771, a recall of 0.719, a precision of 0.831, and a specificity of 0.950. The most important variable in the random forest model was mean cell volume, weighted at 15.09%. CONCLUSION: The random forest model, which demonstrated high efficiency in our study, can be used to establish PLT reflex test rules based on the PLT-F method for the Sysmex XN-series automated hematology analyzer.
