Comparison of shock between early‐onset thrombocytopenia and no thrombocytopenia

	Platelet count < 100 × 109/La			The drop decrease of platelet count was ≥ 25%b
	No thrombocytopenia	Early-onset thrombocytopeniac	p	No thrombocytopenia	Early-onset thrombocytopeniac	p
Shockd, n (%)			0.001			0.005
No shock	194 (91.1%)	19 (8.9%)		170 (79.8%)	43 (20.2%)
Shock	83 (77.6%)	24 (22.4%)		70 (65.4%)	37 (34.6%)

Bold values show statistical significance of differences

^aThrombocytopenia with platelet count < 100 × 10⁹/L and a decrease in 25% or more from baseline of the platelet count

^bThrombocytopenia due to a platelet count drop decrease of 25% or more from baseline

^cEarly-onset thrombocytopenia: thrombocytopenia occurrence within 6 days of linezolid treatment initiation

^dShock patients require vasoactive medications
