Abstract

The authors compared the ability of transfused platelets that were fresh or stored for 24 hr at room temperature (22°C) to increase the platelet counts of thrombocytopenic patients with acute leukemia. Increments in the recipients' platelet counts after transfusion of stored platelets were substantially smaller and shorter lived than those given by fresh platelets. This was the case even in patients who responded consistently to fresh platelets.
