Effect of storage of platelet concentrates in PAS-B, PAS-C, or plasma on transfusion reactions.

CONCLUSIONS: In plasma platelets, longer storage time was not associated with a higher incidence of transfusion reactions. In PAS platelets, longer storage time was associated with higher transfusion reaction incidences, in particular for allergic reactions with both PAS fluids and febrile reactions with PAS-B. This indicates that the effect of storage time is different for different reaction types and depends on the storage fluid. PMID: 31503334 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
