Effect of the platelet count of the concentrate and the preparation method on 1-hour posttransfusion platelet count increments


Platelet

Observed mean dose × 10-11

Estimated 1-hour platelet increment × 109/L for observed mean dose*

Hypothetical equal dose × 10-11

Estimated 1-hour platelet increment × 109/L for hypothetical equal dose*
Control PCs   4.52   29.2/19.9   4.52   29.2/19.9  
UVB-PCs   4.39   24.5/23.7   4.52   25.0/24.3  
F-PCs   3.70   24.6/15.3   4.52   28.9/19.6
