Zusammenfassung:•Whether platelet transfusions are harmful to TTP patients is currently unclear.•To address this gap, we carried out a systematic review, retrieving 11 eligible studies.•We found that the all-cause mortality of transfused patients was significantly higher compared to non-transfused patients.•There were no significant differences in the rates of other target organ complications.•Our results could signify harm of platelet transfusions or a greater disease severity of transfused TTP patients.
