Storage time need not guide platelet selection in critical care; confirms no association with bleeding or mortality while questioning CCI relevance.
Does platelet storage duration affect clinical outcomes in critically ill or haematology patients?
Platelet storage duration does not significantly impact hard clinical outcomes like bleeding or mortality, though fresher platelets may improve corrected count increment.
