Study information
Scientific title
A multicenter randomised study of the efficacy of transfusions with platelets stored in platelet additive solution II versus plasma
Acronym
Study hypothesis
Utilisation of platelets stored in additive solutions has several advantages. A former Randomised Controlled Trial (RCT) testing platelets stored in platelet additive solution II versus plasma excluded patients with factors of increased platelet consumption. In this study also this category of patients are included and we expect to find differences in outcome, as compared to the previous study.
Ethics approval
The study protocol was approved by the Leiden University Medical Center and HagaZiekenhuis ethics committees and conducted according to the Guidelines of Good Clinical Practice.
