Table 3.

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
F-APs 3.68 27.9/18.6 4.52 34.0/24.7

Estimates are given for patients who were either negative or positive for lymphocytotoxic antibodies at the time of transfusion
