Authors Journal Year 4°C versus room temperature
Johnson et al. 18 Transfusion 2016 Reduction of glycolysis
Increased expression of P-selectin
Faster thrombin generation
Faster clot formation, equal strength
Bynum et al. 22 Transfusion 2016 Less oxidative stress
Stronger clot
Increased response to aggregating
agents
Better aggregation in shear stress
conditions
Getz et al. 6 Transfusion 2016 No difference in platelet content in
the first 5 days of storage
No difference in rotation
thromboelastometry (ROTEM)
pattern after 5 days of storage
