A randomized controlled trial comparing autologous radiolabeled in vivo platelet (PLT) recoveries and survivals of 7‐day‐stored PLT‐rich plasma and buffy coat PLTs from the same subjects

Abstract

We were unable to demonstrate that single-unit BC-PLTs stored for 7 days have superior poststorage viability compared to PRP-PLTs. Failure to meet the minimum FDA criteria for poststorage PLT viability raises questions regarding the acceptance thresholds of these metrics.
