Abstract
We prospectively randomized 51 patients with haematological malignancy requiring platelet concentrates (PCs) to receive either single donor platelet-pheresis products (SD-PC), PCs made from pooled buffy coats (BC-PC) or pooled units of platelets made by the platelet-rich plasma method (PRP-PC). The leucocyte content of each type of PC was 0.33 (0.03-13.5), 5.68 (0.19-99.0) and 365 (65-910) x 106; median (range), respectively; P < 0.0001. All red cell transfusions were leucodepleted by filtration. Statistical comparison of the probability of the occurrence of a nonhaemolytic febrile transfusion reaction (NHFTR) following transfusion of PCs in patients in each group showed a significant decrease for the SD-PC and BC-PC groups (0.031 and 0.038, respectively) when compared with PRP-PC (0.171); P = 0.0001. The actual corrected platelet count increments (CCI) at 1-6 and 18-24 h post-transfusion for all three types of PC did not differ significantly. We conclude that transfusion of PRP-PC is associated with a significant increase in NHFTR.
